Be careful if you’re trading songs
After my niece badly corrupted her PC a few years ago after using Kazaa, I’ve been left with a bad taste in my mouth for that file-sharing site. I’m a huge music fan, and sharing music online is pretty much Kazaa’s raison d’etre. But I don’t go there because I know it’s rife with spyware and adware. I hadn’t heard much about it recently.
Well, Kazaa’s in the news again. In Steve Karnowski’s AP piece, “Music companies vow to show Minn. woman shared 24 songs” I learned that the music industry has decided to take a woman to trial for allegedly illegally sharing copyright protected songs. I’m not sure how or why they targeted Jammie Thomas-Rasset, but I’m sure that having the trial publicized will serve to remind the public that sharing copyrighted songs, movies, videos, applications, and documents is still illegal – even if anti-piracy laws aren’t being firmly enforced.
