One of my students is doing a research paper on online piracy. He's a pro at it.

You do have to be4 very careful or they fine you a lot of money!

Besides, when it is so inexpensive to pay for just one song, why not? The writer and performer should benefit from their work.

lol, we got a notice in the mail a while back that said if we continue to download things from the internet, they would cut off our service, but never mentioned anything about charging us with a crime. They said we downloaded the full season of Heroes, but all of the episodes are available to watch online for free, so I don't see the big deal. (IF we did it, that is...)

They have to send you the notice to try to limit their liability - lawyers!

I wasn't about anything legal though. Just our internet service...

They may be liable for your downloads as they can see and monitor the download so they are limiting their liability for a suit for allowing the downloads by sending this notice.

Angie,

Hypothetically speaking, of course, if the downloader maxes at about 3 and no more than 10, he/she probably won't be noticed. Slow, but safer.

I don't expect any problems. IF hubby were to download anything, I'm sure he'd be very cautious... Not that he would download anything...
