Message: [QUOTE="RYDMOTO, post: 1309812, member: 21865"] I agree with what you are saying.I have read enough that the RIAA is a crafty bunch and their tactics have been ruthless.The gamble is do i agree to pay the fines they ask for up front or challenge them in court and risk even bigger fines.I would assume if anybody uses a program such as Limewire that they would argue in court that it is a peer to peer file sharing network and you are on there for that purpose. They do use media sentry in some of the clone songs that they install in limewire or wherever that gos thru your files and sends back to them what you have downloaded.I cannot say for sure from what I have read if they only go after those who download only a few songs or not.I would find it hard to believe they won't go after those who only download and not share.In their opinion it is music stolen from them.The saddest part of all is that the musicians see next to nothing of the millions of dollars that have beenr aised in lawsuits.If you spend some time reading through all the lawsuits in the above link it is truly shocking how they have and use and abuse the judicial system to serve their own purpose.I have always said if these greedy types from the beginning would have only charged 10 or 20 cents a song to download...nobody would have a need to pirate any music and they would have more money than they would know what to do with. CD freaks is another site that has good info on this topic. [/QUOTE]
