Is it the UK to?
I have been using Kazaa lite for months and I have read all the reports on here about the RIAA..........can any of you lovely people tell me....are they only monitoring the USA or is it the UK and world wide? I dont have that many music files on my computer because she is getting on in age and hasnt got the capacity..last count was 53. Just wondering if I should watch my back the last thing I need is the police crashing through the front door, not enough coffee mugs to go round.....:D ;)
Many thanks |
at the moment the problem areas are america, australia, sweden and spain. the uk groups are pondering lawsuits and prosecution but have yet to do so. welcome to our world cats whiskers. :D

It seems that the UK and Australia music industries don't plan to follow the US example of suing their customers.

australia’s situation is cloudy. for pr purposes at least the decision for now is against american-style lawsuits, but that does not mean file sharers are off the hook. indeed several individuals are facing actual prison time and there is a massive case moving through the courts pitting sony and others against the universities. in some ways the worst place to be for a file sharer is oz. were it not for the fact that most australian’s are pretty comfortable with the insides of a slammer, life on the continent might be kind of grim right now. :D

British law requires a search warrant issued by a judge in order to mount a prosecution as far as I've read. So, while the BPI might see you sharing copyrighted material, they can't prove it until a warrant physically removes the pc for examination. Unlikely, I'd say.

this just in...
we can now add germany to the list. a tough new copyright law is going into effect this weekend that can put file sharers behind bars for three years. it also allows fines of 250,000 dollars. more details in wir. "The German Music Publishers’ Association said the amendment would finally spell an end to the long wait for copyright protection and said it expected that 'the illegal copying of music would now be pursued seriously.' " "viciously" is more like it. ah germany...what can one say. - js. |
