[QUOTE="jibbarjabar, post: 183967"] Don't get busted! 26,000 people are facing civil lawsuits for using P2P file-stealing programs such as eMule. People DO get caught stealing and "sharing" copyrighted "stuff" using P2P filesharing programs such as Limewire, Bearshare, Kazza etc, and face huge fines. People as young as 12 years old get busted. "The music industry has turned its big legal guns on Internet music-swappers â€” including a 12-year-old New York City girl who thought downloading songs was fun." "Brianna LaHara said she was frightened to learn she was among the hundreds of people sued yesterday by giant music companies in federal courts around the country." "I got really scared. My stomach is all turning," Brianna said last night at the city Housing Authority apartment where she lives with her mom and her 9-year-old brother."
