    *Canada News*

    Downloading from Kazaa maybe illegal for Canadians now, as it violates copyright laws (mostly for the music industry...). If people download from Kazaa then no one will buy the CD. So the parliament is planning to take action to either persuade the world to help shuting down Kazaa, or at least sue all Canadians who download from Kazaa (how they are going to be doing that is still debatable... they're talking about this right now).

    What do you think about this? Are any other countries in the world taking similar actions?
     
    I doubt any country has very strict laws against piracy, but you're right, it is illegal.;)
     
    Even if canadians downloaded from Kazaa, I don't think that the publishers lawyers, would go and try to sue every single person who downloaded off it, and its just like roms on the internet, its illegal, but nobody seems to care to do anything.

    In other words, the morals of it being illegal is too uncommon.
     
    I hate Privacy. I perfer buying the whole CD or buying it from a payed online service. It's a sin to steal things from other people. You know that. It's in the 10 comandments. :P

    so, it will be a sin to hate digimon.. Oh my gosh!
     
    it's werid how there doing this cuz yes i used to use Kazaa but i still buy Cd's all the time but i like having mixed cd's also not everyone is going to go out and but a 20,25 dollar cd just for one or 2 songs they like it's crazy, then what will be the purpose of mp3 players then ah crazy
     
    Yeah and some people use it to determine if they actually want to buy the CD or not. A lot of CDs I bought kind of felt like rip-offs where only one or two songs are good and not the rest...
     
    Even if they get rid of kazaa, people will make new piracy sites.All I download from the net is roms.
     
    I once used Napster when itwas under fire, then I decided to stop all my acts of piracy. I still dislike buying CDs too ( it's like paying around $5 for one or two good songs and 12 trash songs...)

    So now I just listen to my regular radio station and/or websites with public wav. files...

    Yea I think they most likely well too. >.>;;
     
    if they're gonna ban kazaa they might as well make mp3's illegal!
    (i have an mp3, a really cool one too)

    it isn't exactly illegal, since no one is selling the stuff on kazaa. it's called "sharing"

    A lot of people would say what you just said.

    To tell you the truth is, it's still piracy, so it's still illegal, though.

    Exactly, anything that is used or copied without permission is Piracy, even though that roms are always used, nobody wants to do anything about it. And even though that I download things, I think that roms and mp3's will never stop going around, theres always going to be someone putting it out on the internet. And people downloading them...
     
    I think Nintendo has copyright for it's games for like 70 years or so... After the copyright to expires, it'll be legal to download ROMs I guess.
     
    Hmmm... *goes to download mp3s and saves them in her mp3 player* Taiwan hasn't made that law yet, in fact, I think that they're encorging people to download it. x_x; I don't thank many people in Taiwna have heard about KaZaA alot though... >_>
