i wouldnt be surprised. after all the users are more at risk of prosecution than the people who run the sites seeing as the owners of the site dont store the songs etc but the users obviously do.
Ha, the BPI bloke on the news tonight talking about downloaders.... "you are not anonomous. You can be caught...you will be caught" suck my balls
They dont have any charges to lay down because the downloader has not broken any law as such. The only person who is breaking any law is the one who buys a cd, rips it and then uploads it; the license agreement when you buy a cd. If you aint bought it then you have never agreed to any agreement.
It's certainly how they apply it over in the states... if you sold copied CDs out of the back of a car you're the one liable to prosecution, not the people buying them.
But if I copied your cd's, without you knowing, and sold them I'd be ok by that logic because I've entered no agreement? Or am I missing something?
Yes they do, because unless I'm wrong Oink was a bit torrent site and the main principle of bit torrent is that everyone who downloads, uploads. Has anyone actually been prosecuted for downloading in the UK yet though?
