I sometimes burn some CD's for my gran so she can have a spare, she also has brought that CD!

ive NEVER downloaded off the internet, but as ive said before its so easy to download stuff (acctually i dont know who, )
off the net so why dont they stop the people allowing it to happen that way noone can do it, problem solved!

If you copy the cd for yourself and you've paid for it, then it is legal. But you have broken the law when you make a copy for your friends who can't afford a cd.

I'm going to say ONE MORE TIME: The gneutella system is a cybermedium. Kazaa, napster, morpheus, etc are simply interfaces. They can be shut down, but gneutella, being a cybermedium, can't. It doesn't exist anywhere. When they shut down napster, morpheus popped up, then Kazaa, then more and more. The actually gneutella system, being out in cyberspace, can't be penetrated with technology available to the government at this time. That is the reason 12 year olds and old men are being sued. It is the only way the companies have at this time to make people understand that it is WRONG and they aren't planning to put up with it.
