"Defence lawyer Lorenzo Alonzi said his client, an auxiliary nurse at Ayr Hospital, had not used the network for any financial gain, but to build up her self-esteem after suffering from depression for a number of years."
Yes she is obviously a horribly dangerous criminal that should be punished severly.
Millions of people pirate music each day, I find it hard to be caught unless you go around a city SCREAMING that you use frostwire/other p2p networks on a daily basis.
Fucking pathetic, and music companies make enough damn music as it is.
Use your resources for something useful instead. Its funny, last time someone broke into our neighbors home they wouldn't even move their ass to investigate it, but they got oh so much energy to waste on this kind of crap.
Corporations are playing master of puppets, and the government dances.

This is bullshit in that even if she hasn't ever existed those '£54000' of files would still have been seeded by the other people so it's hardly directly her and her alone.
[QUOTE=MasterG;30156771]Shouldn't these people be out catching murderers and rapists instead of, y'know, locking up depression-suffering kids who shared some music?[/QUOTE]
A 58 year old woman is a kid?
Quite depressing that things like this happens. And seriously, a copyright law from 1988? That's over 20 years old, a lot of shit has happened the past 20 years that should definitely make them re-define the copyright laws.
Another conspirator against the free capitalist world caught! It was only a matter of time for scum like this to be rooted out and punished for the horrendous crime of sharing music!
But I say the law needs going further! Nowdays, when you play a song, it creates a COPY of the song in ram, which is ILLEGAL! When the song is cached to be played, it should be deleted from the harddrive to make sure that the peasant user only has exactly one copy anywhere anytime!
Now excuse me while i go snort coke and skittles and sue another teenager for more money than there is in existence
read the op idiots its not a teenager
Of course they'll make the punishment as harsh as possible they want to make an example of her, they want to strike fear into the harts of other music pirates. Of course, this will have little impact.
Piracy is a victimless crime.
That terrorist should be executed! [sp]/sarcasm[/sp]

And obviously they let horribly dangerous criminals off with three years probation over there and consider it severe.

Same applies here.

Well I certainly hope so, wouldn't be much of a music company if they didn't. :downsrim:
I think probation is pretty good actually, considering there have been people fined huge amounts of money and/or jailed for this kind of thing
People who pirate music are scum and should be shot, now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to my Animal Collective discography.
I am kinda surprised so little lawsuits happen seeing as on most trackers popular albums have like 10k+ seeders per torrent. Sure 10k isn't a lot when you look at the total world population, but all the music companies have to do is open the torrent and pick some american IPs they can they ask about to their ISP. Also

Caught red handed bitch :v:
This pirate hunting bullshit has gone to far and gone on long enough, the industry needs to evolve, not continue wasting their money and energy chasing something they cannot catch.
this makes buying music from the artists directly much more appealing.

Now this, is why we use PeerBlock, so we don't get caught.

Today's music industry works like this : unless you're on MTV, you won't make money.
If you are on MTV, you'll get money through not-direct sales such as Tap Tap Revenege where you buy music to play it.
[editline]1st June 2011[/editline]
Today's music industry is dead.
It's a bit sad when you think about it. When a single person or a few people pirate some songs, it's really not a big deal at all. But when you have millions and millions of people doing it, many to get 100% of their music, it really makes the industry lose a lot of money. Although, therefore frankly I don't mind people pirating Rebecca Black songs. On the other hand, whoever does so deserves to be jailed anyway :devil:
So what if I've downloaded a couple thousand songs off the internet?
Who hasn't?
Who Hasn't?!
