The cycle began months ago.

U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson rejected those claims in July but last week allowed Sharman to try again. U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson rejected those claims in July but last week allowed Sharman to try again.

Even though I'm sympathetic to people who steal crappy music,

Sharman, in a countersuit, claimed movie and recording industries didn't understand the digital age and were monopolizing entertainment.

Kazaa blows ass for music anyways, it is not designed around being able to download albums, only singles. (which means most of the people that use it are fans of music that is produced under the 1 good song per record deal brought to you by the RIAA) Only thing K++ is even remotely useful for is pr0n, and even that is debatable with all of the crazy kinds of it on there. Not to mention people that share on those networks are usually idiots that can't make quality encodes of movies, music, etc and tend to distribute bad, viral, or improperly named material. File sharing for the masses just doesn't work for anybody.

Which makes more sense... sue and bust the source of the songs that are being downloaded, or spend million in a fruitless campaign trying to sue eveyr person like me who downloads them? :beer:

I know what makes more sense :) Just curious.

I guess by promoting the *download but dont share* mentality, then eventually it would dry up due to lack of sharers.
