What does the RIAA do if you I always thought that they
could sue you for tons of
money but recently I heard
they like send you an email
threatening to shut down your
internet of something like
that?

If I delete my file sharing I used to illegally download
music, but have since decided
to stop because of all the
recent law suits. What do I
have to do to be in the clear?

If the RIAA has records of you downloading copyrighted content, deleting, formatting or trashing your computer is all useless. You will still get slapped with a lawsuit. |

On the back of some older In particular, I'm referring
to original Beatles' albums on
Capitol Records. The number is
a location on the lower right
hand corner on the back of the
album. The number (I think) is
the record plant that pressed
that particular record. I
believe that they also tell
the year a record was pressed
as well. Does anybody know
what the code for those
numbers are, or where I can
find this information?

How do you feel about the RIAA I think that yes, they do have
a point. Technically it is
piracy, but they should be
thinking how to capatilize on
it rather than sue everyone.
Downloading an album will
never be as good as buying
one. It is time consuming and
tedious to download your music
instead of buying it.
Especially if you dont listen
to mainstream.

I agree that, in premise, it's sound. However, I think that the money isn't going to the right places... The lawyers and top execs see all the cash won from that. Everything else is just for publicity. When the media can push fearsome stories about some dude getting slapped with a huge fine, they can curb a bit of the activity. However, I think there's other ways to do it. Itunes is a great start... |

Why do RIAA & MPAA sue people I can't BELIEVE how may sites
let you download or even
simply WATCH/LISTEN to
movies/music! & some of them
are reputable companies. & the
people in the entertainment
industry say that they don't
get their royalties, which I
understand. I'd be upset, too.
So with this, how can
musicians & actors make money
if people don't buy CD's &
DVD's anymore because all they
gotta do is look/listen on the
computer?

The RIAA and MPAA are greedy organizations who only work for the big corporations, not the artists themselves. Free websites are usually ad supported, which does return revenues to the companies who hold all the copyrights. Again, this does little for the artists. How legal a site is cannot be determined by the average user, but if you did not pay for it, even if the website is listed on Google without any copyright violation notices, I would not assume the download is legal. In these times, it is best to only download what you have paid for. This does not apply to streaming content over the Internet, where you cannot be sued if you don't actually download anything to your computer. |
