Re: UK music downloader pays £2,500 after being caught.

ok so here's the 'its just plain theft' argument, well yes i don't deny it in the real world it would be. But this is the internet which is a whole diferent entity wouldn't u say. Its only regulated by one thing... ur own morals and concsience.

U may feel that that is a weak argument but there's a major difference between the two worlds. Hey all business wants to do is find a way of gettin their customers to part with their money in a different way. Business still hasn't grasped how to facilitate the customer experience in a complete manner. For one thing ISP's arent' interested. I love the likes of BT's/AOL ads where they tout 'no download limit'... cause hey we're not responsible!! Makes me laugh every time.

How do u regulate someone who wants to link to a music file from their blog?

Anyone who gets greedy can expect to get caught, i exercise my choice both in content and volume. Can't help you if u don't like it.

At least the outcome of downloading is that retail prices have dropped. i'm no economics expert so as i said in previous post i've no ideal what business model will suit all interested parties.
