800,000 in sweden alone? looks like they have there job cut out for them. i think this stuff is going to be a big mess. if it goese anything like the war on drugs. back in the 80's there was a war declared on drugs and now there cheaper than ever and found on every street corner. it seems like when u tell people they cant do something they just want to do it more. besides that most people wouldnt buy anymore music or movies if they couldnt dl anyway. i would just have to do with out and so would most of my friends. i mean if u like something ur going to buy it anyway. p2p just lets u figure out what u like before u spend 15-20 bucks.

so whats the ruling? if he got off, you would think it's a good sign, as his lawyers defense sounded like something one ought to try here in the States.

Thanks a lot j0j081, i just realised i left out the fact that a verdict is expected on October 25th, id have never noticed! *shakes hand*

Well that is true...and not true.

Here is why I say that.

Although you can say that you want to try something out before you buy it, most don't. Like you said in your post. So I definately agree. This is like a major stint in their (MPAA and RIAA) profits...so they say. About 6 years ago, nobody said anything, but obviously, with the advancement of technology and able to "copy" practically ANYTHING digital, they are worried that they are not going to be able to buy their new 2007 Porsche or their 100ft yacht in the Bahamas.

Just my thoughts on it.

agreed gamename, most movies cant be downloaded with special features anyway so i guess even with P2P, you get what you pay for

i really hate those who think that 5 billion isnt enough money

its a sad day for sweden when they go after someone downloading a movie.... this is the country where hookers are state santioned and might I add inspected monthy by the board of health.. and where drug use is tolerated smoking hash in public is a daily accurance so now they are going to get tough on filesharing... and they dont even know you can highjack someones connection... and they dont know about masking your ip address , this is to much.... hey even I can put stuff like black ice on my machine to hide the ip address and what about the website that claim u can surf anomusly if you use their stuff... Imean really does this mean you have to change you static ip address to a server assigned one... and just let it keep chaning everytime you loog in? wow Sweden should lighten up.....

mystic this has nothing to do with "downloading" he is charged with uploading. the only way to be convicted of downloading is to admit you did so with knowledge.
