"It is simply to get peer-to-peer users to stop offering music that does not belong to them."

"We are not trying to be vindictive." Filing a lawsuit against someone is pretty damn vindictive, don't ya think?

I have Kazaa Lite on my computer and I've heard that RIAA got sued by file sharing users. I still love Kazza Lite and I hope that I can download music that I should not be worried about the suit. My uncle from Florida downloads every music including my cousin Anthony Marino, the guy who downloads music. Gimmie a break. Napster got sued about two years ago. I don't use regular Kazaa. Kazaa Lite is good. Why did they sue by many record companies and movie studios. I won't tell anyone about it. Chris Ducan learned anything about the Kazaa suit. What do I do next, try WinMX or other stuff like Limewire and other file sharing engines. RIAA had no comment.

Yea some file sharing users are fighting back saying what RIAA Did was an invasion of privacy...

The only file sharing I have is Kazaa Lite. Regular Kazaa doesn't.

Well, wasn't it? They have every right to fight back.

I usually go out and buy the cd sooner or later anyway. I don't see a problem with people downloading if you own the cd and a song or two is scratched on it 'cause that does happen. Who wants to go pay another $16-18 bucks for one or two songs or if you just can't find the song anywhere else. Basically, the RIAA just sucks.

I got on WinMX a couple nights ago and no one was on it at all.

Meangya. I DL songs that I dont normally like by the artist, or live performances. Lately, Ive DL all the episodes of Queer Eye so I can put them on a DVD. Like Karly said.. Im not going to shell out $17 for every song I like..thats BS!! I still buy CD's.. in fact, Im looking forward to Britneys and Clays. Meangya.
