Talk:File sharing

[edit] Illegal?

I sort have take issue with the sharing of copyrighted works as illegal. This has yet to be proven in the courts. So far, the RIAA is merely going after college kids in what many are calling extortion (or what the RIAA calls a kind pre-settlement gesture!). Don't make me slap the neutral tag on this sucker! I think I'm going to spend a bit of time building on this. It's an interesting topic. Adolph Lewisohn 16:26, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

True, there has been some controversy about whether sharing copyrighted works is illegal. However, this page should at least warn students that there's a good chance it's illegal under current laws. I mean, WikiCU has a disclaimer, but we still want to be careful not to spread information that may get students into trouble. Admin 17:46, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
