You don't own them and you can't burn them unless you buy them, but you can listen all you want. And it is legal. Though I do think 200,000 is too much, but the artists need to make money too. Duane,

This one sounds like it's sung by females. They used to play it at Blake's a lot. It sounds almost country. No, I just heard a sample on itunes and that’s not it.

However, I get copies of stuff from my roommate (technically illegal probably). They are making an example out of her. Rules are rules but going to jail is bullshit in this free country of ours. Did she re-sell the music and make profits? So she just shared it on P2P networks for others (which she got from other P2P neteworks in the first place). Jail WAAAAAY to heavy a price for this small time crime. Radiohead has just released their new album, free (you can pay what you want for it), or you can wait for the discbox.

Their one "see, we can crack American music, even though we don't really care to" song. I think that you are referring to “Song 2″ by Blur?

I agree... but only to a degree. If you are sharing something with a friend to get them to check it out, it falls under the same jurisdiction as this case; which is where I don't see it helping the music industry at all. Word.

And it's not the downloading thats the main point of contention, it's the sharing through P2P networks that got her in the end. So you can, technically download til your hearts content, it's once you open that file up for sharing that they can get you Thats why P2P and open torrent trackers are not the place to find good music (or movies). Newsgroups or closed trackers like Oink are definately the way to go. Bullshit or not, the rules are the rules…
