Story: UK file-swappers could face jail under new law
Posted by: Anonymous (Sunday 20 June 2004, 11:01 AM)
I think they will never stop p2p file sharing, think of the legal fee's, if they prosecute 1, they have to prosecute all or else it could create a huge law suit in itself about being unfairly ruled out, who is going to pay all these legal fee's? Its going to be veryyy expensive to send even 1 million people to jail, you have the food in the jail, the staff to cope with that influx, the prisons themselves would need to be expanded, isnt the money / jails better off for convicted rapists ? murderers? Are we really harming people by downloading a song? I will support bands I like, but with so much manufactured pop crap in the shops now, we have no idea what we are buying any more. Theres nothing original anymore, most of the things I see in the shops are just poor covers of decent original songs.
