P2P Sharing Held Lawful
iNet News - Judge Rules In Favor of File-Swapping Sites. It took a few years, but someone has finally figured out that end user copying of music falls under the Supreme Court's Betamax decision and that without a central server, P2P file sharing applications cannot be labeled as contributory infringers. Hillary and RIAA, eat that!!

No one ever says anything about all the used CD stores. I am sure that those stores do not give any money to the record companies for selling used complete records. If anyone is stealing artists money it is not us. Also what about my garage sale -- I sold 50 CDs for 5$ each and not a pennie will go to the record companies. Once I buy something it is mine and I can do anything with it if I break it I have to buy a new one. Maybe we (the P2P people) should start sending back worn out music (like tapes CDs 8-tracks and records) to the record companies and demand a new copy. Also I think that if you watch MTV and you see the show cribs you have to agree that the artists are not hurting in any way (10 million dollar houses 100,000$ cars) who are they trying to kid. I say f u c k them ... take all the music you can get.
Peace
Impeach G.W. Bush
