Warning to all Kazaa users... a young girl from America's parents were fined $150,000 for each song downloaded by the girl. She issued a statement claiming she was "sorry" and "didn't wish to hurt the artists she loves so much".

In the end the case was settled out of court for a mere $2,000...

Mere? This is crap... I know some artists are dead against downloading music but I also know many bands don't give a s**t and offer downloadable songs from their very own website...

If more bands did that the better I'd say... beat the money obsessed system!

If you were to pop all those songs onto a CD and delete them from your hard drive, how could they prove you'd broken any laws?

They are in America... it's a special act that watches what people download... for kiddy porn people and so forth...

There is no law like that in America so far...

Jee Media Studies does have it's positive effects.

I'm pretty sure they are allowed to examine your PC and check if you downloaded them.

How can they prove that you wasn't just downloading freeware?

I can say that I bought all my songs and that they are all legal (except ones like Absolution).

But they can't prove that I am lying, can they? Without seriously invading my privacy, anyway.

As it was said in the life forums, its nothing more than scaremongering.
