1st.It's not illegal to download off itunes,amazonMP3 etc. sites that you pay to get the music or free demo's of songs.
2nd.I download music off limewire all the time(yes it is illegal,but who doesn't?)
3rd:Thankyou for this information

I think the laws are different in Canada, you can download any program you want for free... legally too.

Uhhh my brother has 1500 downloaded songs....

Well, we don't need to know. Remember the rules.

All right, so with the amount of music I have more than likely illegally downloaded, following that rate, I will be fined 4,800,000,000. Four billion, eight hundred million.

WTF?

Sounds like what they are going to fine BP for the gulf spill....

Lol 60 thousand songs? Man you're really diverse.

WTF just for 24 downloads she has to pay up $80,000 per download , Far out! She must of been selling it to people??

The only times you can get caught is , If too many people know or she was selling them pirated?

She's going to be in debt for her lifetime or did they throw her in jail?

Sorry for DP but

Copyright laws are BS. 10 to 20 years is good. After that, copyright should be done with. Now copyright lasts I beleive 75 years or something around that time, and after 75 years the copyright can be renewed. This means that copyright laws can last forever!

You Know...I dont care if its illegal. Theres too many people for them to hunt down.

Hhahhaha looks like I'm going to come up with $32 million dollars.

But shit, $80000 a song? Whats the penalty if you shoplifted those 24 songs instead? Its like stealing two albums rofl.

Along the lines of other senseless laws, here are a few more

Some of my favorites include:

In Alabama placing salt on railroad tracks is punishable by death.
In Globe, Arizona playing cards in the street with a Native American is illegal.
In Florida it's illegal to sing while wearing a bathing suit.
In Kansas it's illegal for restaurants to sell cherry pie a la mode on Sunday.
Michigan state law says that a woman's hair legally belongs to her husband.
In Oklahoma people who make "ugly faces" at dogs may be fined and/or jailed

See, the US is full of senseless laws. I think downloading falls into that category

downloading does not fall into that category, how ever, the fine does. 80,000 dollars for 1 song? yet you can shop lift the same CD and only have to pay 2,500? you even get more songs then just downloading them.... another example of why the law fails.
