"We will sue you if you download Music"

Says the BPI.

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's possible to track anything anyone does on the internet.

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.

How would they track you if you were using bittorrent?

Is it possible?

Untill someone i know gets sued i wont stop.

Yeah, use some common sense. You pay to download from those services.

Cracking down? 1 person in every 500,000 gets sued?

iTunes...
Napster...
MacDonalds partenershipthingy...

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.

*shrug*

I don't care. People break the law in small ways all the time without fear of being done for it, but if they do start cracking down you just have to accept it.

So's re-selling CD's etc but you don't see Ebay going down.

I don't know why people complain about this.

Whatever you want to use to try and justify it, it is illegal.
