they also said like if u download up to the amt that is enough for u to open a small cd shop, they'll arrest u also. i've always dl one song occasionally but then it will accumulate until it's enough for a small cd shop, would they want to arrest me also?Originally posted by Icemoon:those 33 were caught for distributing copyright stuffs.

They can. It is not up to us to say whether they will.Originally posted by The man who was death:they also said like if u download up to the amt that is enough for u to open a small cd shop, they'll arrest u also. i've always dl one song occasionally but then it will accumulate until it's enough for a small cd shop, would they want to arrest me also? -

they have no choice lah, its the law. nobody wants to play with the enforcersOriginally posted by BrUtUs:should also thank singnet, pacnet n starhub for selling their clients out... -
It's not our law.It was a law promugulated by result of an FTA to serve the interests of those corporate behemoths.
If you want to talk about sovereignty being at stake, this is one issue. -
are those cheap imported CDs considered illegal too?
-
parallel imports?? nope.Originally posted by skyfoo:are those cheap imported CDs considered illegal too? -
so they will not arrest pple who dun have enough resources to open a shop? these laws are crap. every now and then, they will arrest some poor fellows as a warning to the public. the 33 are scapegoats of all of us here....Originally posted by The man who was death:they also said like if u download up to the amt that is enough for u to open a small cd shop, they'll arrest u also. i've always dl one song occasionally but then it will accumulate until it's enough for a small cd shop, would they want to arrest me also? -

thank god I dunno how to use MP3s or put it in my computer.
I'm still listening to CDs. phew~!! -
As long as they are not under the RIAS, why not?If I have my own band, I would utilise P2P to spread a few singles as a precursor to independant launch.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:wah lao, then those indie bands leh? cannot download already?

i somehow think that the musicians and artistes are richer and more famous today becoz of p2p, they become more exposed to the general public... but of coz i dont have the statistics or research to prove it... that's just what I think...
and the music industry is not wrong in prosecuting ppl who download music illegally.
would paris hilton become so famous today if not for the fact that her porn video could be easily downloaded from p2p serverS? -
so how the hell does RIAS know what songs i am downloading?Originally posted by LazerLordz:As long as they are not under the RIAS, why not?If I have my own band, I would utilise P2P to spread a few singles as a precursor to independant launch. -
maybe they engage fortune-tellers??Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:so how the hell does RIAS know what songs i am downloading? -
I think the 33 users were all using P2p network. The way P2p works is by sharing.means u download and upload....and the moment someone else download from your collecton..then u are guilty....

the cna article is very vague and misleading...it didnt really state exactly what the 33 fella did..

U are being sold out by your ISPOriginally posted by SingaporeMacross:so how the hell does RIAS know what songs i am downloading? -
