Musical Pirates

During the last year, hundreds of music lovers were facing lauwsuits for copyrighting infringement over the internet. It's now the same song, different tune...lawyers were getting court orders  from users from IPs. Those names would determine who to file suit against. So, now, the music industry is using the so-called "john doe" process to sue defendants without even knowing their names. Here's how it works: the lawsuits identify defendants by their IP address, wich is unique  number assinged to each computer while its user is online. Once the suits are filed, record lables get the information from ISPS that would identify users by their own names.

                   Now do you want to steal music? Why or Why not?

WOW!!! That was really intresting. I would never ever think of stealing anything off of any site or from anyone. The story that you wrote is short and sweet. Down to the meat of the information. One last thing.......

KEEP ON WRITING!!!

Hmmm. Very clever. The IP address. I guess you can run but you can't hide! Good reporting job!

Hi SUPERTHINKER, I found out 2 of my friends actually copied music from the internet.
That's why I chose that subject and a lot of people are stealing music.

Thank you SUPERTHINKER, now go save the internet.
