RIAA offers amnesty for music pirates.
flap:
Ok, sharing is is a non-neutral term, but copying is sharing, regardless of whether you also believe it's morally wrong. If you steal money from someone and then share it out amongst your friends you're still sharing, regardless of the fact that you've done something that is by any definition 'stealing'.
Laukev7:
I'm not saying that copying isn't sharing because I think sharing is wrong. I'm saying that copying isn't sharing because as soon as you reproduce a CD, you aren't sharing anymore. Like this definition implies:
quote: 1 : to divide and distribute in shares : APPORTION -- usually used with out or with
2 a : to partake of, use, experience, occupy, or enjoy with others b : to have in common
3 : to grant or give a share in
intransitive senses
1 : to have a share -- used with in
2 : to apportion and take shares of something
- shar

Wow... the RIAA has some damn good lawyers working for them. I would never have thought to use a law required age verification device. That is such a good idea. Because there is porn on p2p's. So legally (according to that news) the apps must have age verification. I would never have thought up such an elaborate scheme to get personal info.
thumbs up for clever thinking
thumbs down for the lack of ethics
