i have a couple hundred soungs on lime wire. i deleted them all. then my parents kept saying that it doesnt matter if i deleted them the government cant still track us down and "sue the shit out of us"
 
hahaha dude fuck that i have over 1500 songs on my computer and no one gives a shit. everyone downloads music and theres nothing they can do about it. it is perfectly fine to download music.
 
dude I have millions of songs, just don't share them. THe only way the govt can track you down is if you are sharing like 70,000 so don't worry its fine
 
Hahaha, just dont't share any files and you're cool dude

As long as you're not sharing you can download like a gangsta
 
okay, if you don't know whether or not you're sharing songs, then you probably are. do yourself a favor and stop downloading stuff until you become unretarded regarding the matter. sheesh.
 
if sharing songs is under "monitor" then yes i think i know how to not share. or is it when you first install the program and choose to share or not?
 
a kid at my highschool got caught with like 5000 songs on his comp, he got sued big time, then his dad threatened the school, then he got expelled... thats how dowloading leads to no more life....

actually, those three events happened, but had nothing to do with each other

but ya, dont share your stuff and you wont get caught, generally
 
haha holy shit, your friend got rolled hard, i've got *checks ipod* 7135 songs and i own 4 albums in hardcopy...the RIAA can stick that in their pipes and smoke it
 
Umm, dude, you didn't have to delete them. If you're worried, just copy the songs over to a different folder after you use limewire. And There is NO WAY you can get caught for downloading music.
 
ok im going to explain how this works.

if you have a song, a movie, a game, or anything that is copyright protected and you are sharing them you can get sued.

here are the steps they tal:

1- they download the file from you, they have thousands of computers dedicated for this exact purpouse with enough bandwidth to make any group of hackers jealous. they download it to make sure that its their copyrighted material. if they see for example britney spears- im a slave for you and once they download it its actually a 12 year old girl singing a half assed version of that song they delete that file and go to the next person. if it is the file that it claims to be and its theirs they go to step 2

2- they nark down your IP dress, the time of the download, and get the rest of the songs that you have, keeping all the information on that file they just got from you. at this point you are in their database and they can sue you for $2000 per song

3- they decide that you have alot of files and that if you stoped sharing the pirating problem will go down. your a big fish and taking you out will have an afect on digital media pirating.

4- this is where it gets tricky. if your past step 3 your in trouble. they have to go to your ISP give them your IP adress and ask for your name and adress. if you have AOL its not too big of a problem because AOL gives them your contact info sometimes without them even asking. if you have something like Verizon then they have to go to step 5 (verizon fought the RIAA in court about 2 years ago saying that giving them their clients info is taking away their right to privacy. and they won)

5-So now their at a block they have an IP adress that looks like this:69.267.78.256

and the company providing this IP adress wont give them your home adress. so they have to sue you. do you have enough songs to warrant a lawsuit. its gonna cost them alot. if they decide to go ahead and sue you you get a nice letter saying that you are needed in court because the RIAA is suing your ass. please delete all the files from your computer imediately, and dust off your check book your about to pay $200 to $2000 a song or settle for the price of a couple thousand dollars + any fees they had to pay in the process of suing you.

now if you havnt been sued yet dont fool yourself they probably know you. if you have been sharing music for more than 2 years and its pretty famous music, eminem, 50, Britney, and everybody else on MTV then they definitly have your IP adress and they might have your name and adress from when they didnt have to sue you to get it. their going after the top dogs right now the ones making them loose millions of dollars, the ones who upload the songs in the first place, the warez groups all those big guys. but nothing stops them from suing everybody who has or ever had one song. even if you deleted all your songs, and you have a new ISP, a new computer, they can still sue you, your name is probably in their database and if they keep on not making enough money to buy those new jets they had their eye on theil come knocking on your door for the money, hopefully itl be in the form of a letter asking you to show up in court, but it can also be the FBI rushing in your house and grabbing all your computers.

hope someone learned something
 
not if you're smart with downloading it. Limewire can only download one file at a time for the one thing it's downloading. So if you download a movie file, all you're getting is a movie file. But if it asks you for a licence, delete it, don't download licences, that's where spyware and viruses come in. And don't download zip folders of porn either, they can hide viruses in them too.
 
well theres no way i would make a dent in the pirating world and i have 19000 downloaded songs... i think if they havent fucked me yet most people dont have too much to worry about.
 
well aren't you fucking cool

ps - i wouldnt flaunt how many songs you have on the internet...you never know
 
i suggest you start downloading a shit load of porn clips, thousands, put htem all on limewire with easy names find a way to lock your computer on the net and limewire, and then come back and tell us what happens
 
hahah fuck that

claim u are the one that didnt dl it and u have no idea what DOWNLAODing illegal music is
 
ok i realize i am a retard , alright what should i do to get some music that is free, safe , clean and not really traceable. any custom radio site? anything where i can not download the song but just here it over the web?
 
think of all the people downloading shit i doubt they would make a big deal and set up a whole case for the sake of a couple of hundered songs.
 
no im just explaining how it works.

and its not the government. there are two groups doing stuff about piracy:

RIAA: They send you a leter and tell you that you have a court date with them where some very expensive lawyers will make sure you give them lots of money

The Government (FBI): They Bust down your door,round up everybody take your computer and get you ready for at least 4 years of Jail.
 
there are so many more people with 10000 times the songs you have. even if they cared they wouldnt go after you
 
just turn sharing off or remove all folders form the sharing directory under options downloading/sharing

also have a firewall and spayware/virus protection
 
haha yea they are real gay.

Why would parents make you do that? YEa they can track them to you, but I believe limewire would have to allow them to right?
 
many of the previous cases were for users with less then 500 songs. They focus more on targeted highly shared music, not always the number of files you have.
