wait if thats right then wouldnt everything exept public domain be removed off the internet since its all pretty much viewable and distributable and COPYRIGHTED
"If you are sharing them, you are guilty. Because you are NOT being sued for stealing hte files. You are being sued for allowing OTHERS to steal the files."Last time I checked this was a matter of copyright infringement, not theft, right? And who are you to jump the gun and assume everybody under fire by the RIAA is automatically guilty? One of this country's greatest parts of the legal system was/is the idea of innocent until proven guilty. Yes it is relevant when you like in many other digg articles start throwing around the same RIAA speak 'n slander each time to provoke.
"You are telling me every picture on the net is licensed (except of course home pictures of course)?"Yeah, actually. Any creative effort, including photos and webpage content, are considered copyrighted by US law pretty much instantaneously.The only reason nobody hears about it is because, for the most part, nobody really cares. Well, they do, just enough to keep art thieves (by that I mean people who claim they did a work they didn't, not people who break into museums) in check. If the RIAA's principles were applied to images, you'd probably get sued for printing a picture off the internet to decorate your bedroom with.
"If you have a problem with it, argue that point, don't throw in red herrings like the innocent being trudged into court. It ain't happening. "Check the news.. it did, and will continue to.
