 Yeah. Just ask her when she GRADUATED from UCLA. I dare you. What degree
from UCLA does she actually own and what year did
 she receive it?

 She'll tell you that she graduated but will not provide any details
because then you can follow up. She doesn't want that...

Music Industry Wins 871 Subpoenas Against Internet Users
Saturday, July 19, 2003
WASHINGTON - The music industry has won at least 871 federal subpoenas
against computer users suspected of illegally sharing music files (search)
on the Internet, with roughly 75 new subpoenas being approved each day, U.S.
court officials said Friday.
The effort represents early steps in the music industry's contentious plan
to file civil lawsuits aimed at crippling online piracy.
Subpoenas reviewed by The Associated Press show the industry compelling some
of the largest Internet providers, such as Verizon Communications Inc. and
Comcast Cable Communications Inc., and some universities to identify names
and mailing addresses for users on their networks known online by nicknames
such as fox3j, soccerdog33, clover77 or indepunk74.
The Recording Industry Association of America (search) has said it expects
to file at least several hundred lawsuits seeking financial damages within
the next eight weeks. U.S. copyright laws (search) allow for damages of $750
to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a person's computer, but the
RIAA has said it would be open to settlement proposals from defendants.
The campaign comes just weeks after U.S. appeals court rulings requiring
Internet providers to readily identify subscribers suspected of illegally
sharing music and movie files. The 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act
permits music companies to force Internet providers to turn over the names
of suspected music pirates upon subpoena from any U.S. District Court
clerk's office, without a judge's signature required.
In some cases, subpoenas cite as few as five songs as representative
recordings of music files available for downloading from these users. The
trade group for the largest music labels, the Washington-based RIAA,
previously indicated its lawyers would target Internet users who offer
substantial collections of MP3 song files but declined to say how many songs
might qualify for a lawsuit.
We would have to look at historic trends, but that is a very high number,
said Alan Davidson of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a civil
liberties group that has argued against the subpoenas. It doesn't sound
like they're just going after a few big fish.
Music fans are fighting back with technology, using new software designed
specifically to stymie monitoring of their online activities by the major
record labels.
A new version of Kazaa Lite, free software that provides access to the
service operated by Sharman Networks Ltd., can prevent anyone from listing
all music files on an individual's machine and purports to block scans from
Internet addresses believed to be associated with the RIAA.
Many of the subpoenas reviewed by the AP identified songs from the same few
artists, including Avril Lavigne, Snoop Dogg and Michael Jackson. It was
impossible to determine whether industry lawyers were searching the Internet
specifically for songs by these artists or whether they were commonly
popular among the roughly 60 million users of file-sharing services.
The RIAA's subpoenas are so prolific that the U.S. District Court in
Washington, already suffering staff shortages, has been forced to reassign
employees from elsewhere in the clerk's office to help process paperwork,
said Angela Caesar-Mobley, the clerk's operations manager.
The RIAA declined to comment on the numbers of subpoenas it issued.
We are identifying substantial infringers and we're going to whatever
entity is providing (Internet) service for that potential infringer, said
Matt Oppenheim, the group's senior vice president of business and legal
affairs. From there we'll be in a position to begin bringing lawsuits.
A spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts said the
clerk's office here was functioning more like a clearing house, issuing
subpoenas for all over the country. Any civil lawsuits would likely be
transferred to a different jurisdiction, spokeswoman Karen Redmond said.
Verizon, which has fought the RIAA over the subpoenas with continued legal
appeals, said it received at least 150 subpoenas during the last two weeks.
There were no subpoenas on file sent to AOL Time Warner Inc., the nation's
largest Internet provider and also parent company of Warner Music Group.
Earthlink Inc., another of the largest Internet providers, said it has
received only three new subpoenas.
Depaul University in Chicago was among the few colleges that received such

When I had Kaaza on my machine I had it set not to share any files.  I only used it to

If I were your friend, I would save my mp3 files to a new folder and uninstall/delete

WTF is up with that!!??? Seems to me that Kazza and the other download

would be required to notify their members BEFORE any fines were given and
allow folks to quit sharing before it became illegal. Seems they made a

  Music Industry Wins 871 Subpoenas Against Internet
 Users
  Saturday, July 19, 2003
  WASHINGTON - The music industry has won at least
 871 federal subpoenas
  against computer users suspected of illegally
 sharing music files (search)
  on the Internet, with roughly 75 new subpoenas
 being approved each day,
 U.S.
  court officials said Friday.
  The effort represents early steps in the music
 industry's contentious plan
  to file civil lawsuits aimed at crippling online
 piracy.
  Subpoenas reviewed by The Associated Press show
 the industry compelling
 some
  of the largest Internet providers, such as Verizon
 Communications Inc. and
  Comcast Cable Communications Inc., and some
 universities to identify names
  and mailing addresses for users on their networks
 known online by
 nicknames
  such as fox3j, soccerdog33, clover77 or
 indepunk74.
  The Recording Industry Association of America
 (search) has said it expects
  to file at least several hundred lawsuits seeking
 financial damages within
  the next eight weeks. U.S. copyright laws (search)
 allow for damages of
 $750
  to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a
 person's computer, but
 the
  RIAA has said it would be open to settlement
 proposals from defendants.
  The campaign comes just weeks after U.S. appeals
 court rulings requiring
  Internet providers to readily identify subscribers
 suspected of illegally
  sharing music and movie files. The 1998 Digital
 Millennium Copyright Act
  permits music companies to force Internet
 providers to turn over the names
  of suspected music pirates upon subpoena from any
 U.S. District Court
  clerk's office, without a judge's signature
 required.
  In some cases, subpoenas cite as few as five songs
 as representative
  recordings of music files available for
 downloading from these users. The
  trade group for the largest music labels, the
 Washington-based RIAA,
  previously indicated its lawyers would target
 Internet users who offer
  substantial collections of MP3 song files but
 declined to say how many
 songs
  might qualify for a lawsuit.
  We would have to look at historic trends, but
 that is a very high
 number,
  said Alan Davidson of the Center for Democracy and
 Technology, a civil
  liberties group that has argued against the
 subpoenas. It doesn't sound
  like they're just going after a few big fish.
  Music fans are fighting back with technology,
 using new software designed
  specifically to stymie monitoring of their online
 activities by the major
  record labels.
  A new version of Kazaa Lite, free software that
 provides access to the
  service operated by Sharman Networks Ltd., can
 prevent anyone from listing
  all music files on an individual's machine and
 purports to block scans
 from
  Internet addresses believed to be associated with
 the RIAA.
  Many of the subpoenas reviewed by the AP
 identified songs from the same
 few
  artists, including Avril Lavigne, Snoop Dogg and
 Michael Jackson. It was
  impossible to determine whether industry lawyers
 were searching the
 Internet
  specifically for songs by these artists or whether
 they were commonly
  popular among the roughly 60 million users of
 file-sharing services.
  The RIAA's subpoenas are so prolific that the U.S.
 District Court in
  Washington, already suffering staff shortages, has
 been forced to reassign
  employees from elsewhere in the clerk's office to
 help process paperwork,
  said Angela Caesar-Mobley, the clerk's operations
 manager.
  The RIAA declined to comment on the numbers of
 subpoenas it issued.
  We are identifying substantial infringers and
 we're going to whatever
  entity is providing (Internet) service for that
 potential infringer, said
  Matt Oppenheim, the group's senior vice president
 of business and legal
  affairs. From there we'll be in a position to
 begin bringing lawsuits.
  A spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the
 U.S. Courts said the
  clerk's office here was functioning more like a
 clearing house, issuing
  subpoenas for all over the country. Any civil

Free or not, seems to me there should be a period where the owners of the
sites (Kazza and Winmx and others) would have to notify the users that
sharing is illegal. Not just make up a law and then arrest the masses.

BTW , I don't feel that paying for the opportunity to download music makes
it any more legal than a free site. The money collected doesn't go to the
artists. It goes to the owners of the site.

Why not just take the sites off the Net if it is illegal and don't mess with
the users. No site = no users.

Here is my delima...
Why is it any different than recording music off the radio? Don't give me
all this, it is a better recording crap!
Who cares how clear it is? If you do, then get outside and do something
cause you have been in the dark too long!!!
I have tapes that I recorded from years past...all I did was call up the
radio station, tell them what I wanted to hear, then sit and listen until it
came on.Nobody has put me in jail for that yet.
To tell you the truth, I have downloaded music back when Napster was
flourishing and due to finding music on the net I went and bought a few CDs
that otherwise I wouldn't have even known about!
It is just stupid and I would like to see if it has hurt the selling
industry or if they are just wanting to gripe!

Free or not, seems to me there should be a period where the owners of the
sites (Kazza and Winmx and others) would have to notify the users that
sharing is illegal. Not just make up a law and then arrest the masses.

BTW , I don't feel that paying for the opportunity to download music makes
it any more legal than a free site. The money collected doesn't go to the
artists. It goes to the owners of the site.

Why not just take the sites off the Net if it is illegal and don't mess with
the users. No site = no users.

It is free, at least I haven't paid for it.  I believe
it is up to the site to warn people that it might be
illegal.  Is there a disclaimer there?  I haven't
noticed one.

  Story:
  Music Industry Wins 871 Subpoenas Against Internet
 Users
  Saturday, July 19, 2003
  WASHINGTON - The music industry has won at least
 871 federal subpoenas
  against computer users suspected of illegally
 sharing music files (search)
  on the Internet, with roughly 75 new subpoenas
 being approved each day,
 U.S.
  court officials said Friday.
  The effort represents early steps in the music
 industry's contentious plan
  to file civil lawsuits aimed at crippling online
 piracy.
  Subpoenas reviewed by The Associated Press show
 the industry compelling
 some
  of the largest Internet providers, such as Verizon
 Communications Inc. and
  Comcast Cable Communications Inc., and some
 universities to identify names
  and mailing addresses for users on their networks
 known online by
 nicknames
  such as fox3j, soccerdog33, clover77 or
 indepunk74.
  The Recording Industry Association of America
 (search) has said it expects
  to file at least several hundred lawsuits seeking
 financial damages within
  the next eight weeks. U.S. copyright laws (search)
 allow for damages of
 $750
  to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a
 person's computer, but
 the
  RIAA has said it would be open to settlement
 proposals from defendants.
  The campaign comes just weeks after U.S. appeals
 court rulings requiring
  Internet providers to readily identify subscribers
 suspected of illegally
  sharing music and movie files. The 1998 Digital
 Millennium Copyright Act
  permits music companies to force Internet
 providers to turn over the names
  of suspected music pirates upon subpoena from any
 U.S. District Court
  clerk's office, without a judge's signature
 required.
  In some cases, subpoenas cite as few as five songs
 as representative
  recordings of music files available for
 downloading from these users. The
  trade group for the largest music labels, the
 Washington-based RIAA,
  previously indicated its lawyers would target
 Internet users who offer
  substantial collections of MP3 song files but
 declined to say how many
 songs
  might qualify for a lawsuit.
  We would have to look at historic trends, but
 that is a very high
 number,
  said Alan Davidson of the Center

Why is it any different than recording music off the radio? 

Ask A.S.C.A.P.. They are the ones who started all this with Napster. They even have 
their own investigators going to bars and other public places checkin what music is 
being played and if the owners of the joint have paid their fees. That is what it 
comes down to ... royalty fees and the organization's coffers.

I guess it just seems a little trivial to me.
I think the recording industry needs to show the public where their revenue
has dipped 20% since the invent of these music-downloading sites.
BTW, what is a good one? I think I need to get some tunes!

 Yeah. Just ask her when she GRADUATED from UCLA. I dare you. What degree
from UCLA does she actually own and what year did
 she receive it?

 She'll tell you that she graduated but will not provide any details
because then you can follow up. She doesn't want that...

 You should really direct these questions to the
