Thread Name: Prosecution of students pirating music
Subject: RE: Prosecution of students pirating music
I say...use common sense when sharing and downloading. Don't rip off the little people out there that are trying to promote their music independently. Myself, I want anyone who wants to listen to my music to do so. I don't care if they have the money or not...but that is just me. I don't really care if Lars Ulrich from Metallica has to wait another week to put in his gold swimming pool :) Also, perhaps a compromise is these legal subscriptions like Rhapsody and Napster. My little $15/per month Rhapsody-to-go subscription has allowed me to indulge in all those great old Folkways albums and thousands and thousands more over the past few years. They are DRM encrypted so when my subscription is up, the songs won't work anymore. Talk amoungst yourselves!!!
