| 178822 | 2003-10-01 08:32:00 | LOL! And you're saying using Kazaa is better then to download copyrighted material?? Lo. |

| 178823 | 2003-10-01 10:26:00 | I'm simply saying that it means that you're breaking one less law than if you were using Kazaa lite. No matter what means you use to download copyrighted material, it's still illegal (unless you're paying for it of course). | somebody (208) | ||
| 178824 | 2003-10-01 10:32:00 | RIANZ can get stuffed. If any Nazi prick wants to track me down good luck to them. They will have as much luck as the NZ government making me pay traffic fines. Its all relative, Our country isnt like the USA ,you only get around 15 years in jail for murdering someone. In the USA you get taken out. So on that scale, a jolly good slapping with a wet bus ticket is fair punishment. tedheath |

| 178825 | 2003-10-01 22:38:00 | Its actually easier and faster to borrow a mates cd's or go to the library and then rip them to your HDD in as high a bit rate as you like | kiwibeat (304) | ||

Problem is, your attitude is not justified, because the RIANZ currently is not doing anything that we know of to punish or catch offenders. |

| 178827 | 2003-11-23 09:16:00 | Here's a scenario: I bought the Silverchair: Best of Vol 1 a fair while back, copied a few decent tracks to HDD for my personal use (never to share) and also just in case the discs got damaged (usually by me or some careless parent). The discs, inevitably, became unreadble and unfixable and I ended up throwing them out. If I were to go through the popular Gnutella / Fasttrack networks, hunt down the songs which were on the album that I once paid for, would i get prosecuted? |

| 178830 | 2003-11-23 22:20:00 | One thing has been bothering me about all of this music download 'piracy'. If you originally purchased the album (Pink Floyd The Wall for example) when it first was released. The copyright has been paid by you to the artist in the purchase price. If then, the tape was chewed in the tape deck (which happened to me on a regular occurrence) or stolen from your car (again, unfortunatly a regular occurrence). To replace the album, you download it from the net. In a perfect world you have paid for the copyright and the download is not piracy....? Is it the responsibility of the copyright holder to prove that you never owned the album (innocent before proven guilty)...OR Is it your responsibility to prove that you owned the album (guilty before proven innocent) hmmmm....
