This lady was charged for downloading illegal music from Kazza, and now has to pay 80k per download/ $1.92million to the music industry...

my mom just told me lol
told me to stop downloading off limewire lmao

Who uses Kazaa anymore. I read the article earlier on and I believe this is the only 2nd case prosecuted. And they were willing to settle for around $3-5,000too. It's no use now, with the blogs and sites like rapidshare, zshare, etc.

Kazaa

It's only RS, MU, MF, and ZS for me.

Rookies.

And I know some people on here have probably downloaded over thousands.

IP address. That's the only source I can see. And just trace the registered user. Which now can pose a problem with the use of Wi Fi and'borrowing' internet.

...like a public tracking torrent site is any safer

 

[otis dont play that]

Sharing is what gets you knocked. Never downloading

[ncjamn]

I don't even know why record companies pursue these people.

This isn't going to scare anybody. C'mon
