Shutting down P2P's tommorow would have zero effect on me. Would it effect those of you defending them? If so, how? I suspect the answer will have something to do with the content on your hard drives! |
Well, in the cases cited by the original complaint, it would be the university that is complicit in the file sharing. Actually, my university attempted to fight a subpoena to match names to ip addresses, but recently lost in court. But I highly doubt a lawsuit against major US universities would win, they don't seem to fit into the model of the Grokster case.

Look at the business model for this year's Ozzfest.

I totally agree, again, which is why I think its so dumb to go after college students, as college is the time when people are the most active music fans.
