Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Besides, it's easy enough to track former IPs.

And even besides that, anyone who's on a dial-up modem isn't exactly going to be a supernode or big into the file-sharing racket at all. :lol:

It's mostly live stuff, videos and about 6 albums I've ripped.

Any other music I like, I buy.

FUCK

However, they are wrong...

Thus, whenever someone downloads from your computer, your computer makes a copy for their use. This is infringement with no exemption, because you are entirely responsible for what your computer does.


You are making a copy of my file. My computer is not making a copy. There is never more than one copy on my computer at any time. A partial copy is on your (the downloaders) computer until the full file is downloaded. Therefore, I am not copying it to give to you, you are borrowing my resources to copy it yourself. So, I win.

I posted a rebuttle on that site...

In fact, you could not have designed a law which more perfectly captures the peer to peer process. "Private copying" is a term of art in the Act. In Canada, if I own a CD and you borrow it and make a copy of it that is legal private copying; however, if I make you a copy of that same CD and give it to you that would be infringement. Odd, but ideal for protecting file sharers.
- Jay Currie at http://techcentralstation.com/081803C.html


So, as you can see, this is legal in Canada. Unless, of course, I've missed something.

I should add that I am not a law student, but I am a Canadian who is watching this situation closely.

It seems to be that downloading mp3's is legal, but allowing others to download off of you is not.

So I'm safe, because I don't share. :evil:
