Is there any real reason for this? They'll take one person out, but you can guarantee that another will come along and share files as normal...

It is not illegal to download music.
The only reason it is doing it now it has a claim to it as iTunes and napster and whatever are finally released over here.

Yeah, use some common sense. You pay to download from those services.
Is it possible?

So did I and it's dreadful. Hopefully the album will be an improvement - as long as it isn't dogged by the G Unit tards.

It's possible to track anything anyone does on the internet.
I'm sure they'll catch and prosecute a few, but it's got to such a stage now where they'll never be able to fully end illegal file-sharing.

It is.
Most news sites/the BPI are using the "we will sue downloaders" to scare people that do download, when in fact, they're only hitting the 'major dealers'
But whats the point?
One person will get sued, another person will take their place and continue sharing, it's not like they can stop it...
