Neko Lain Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Well, i do not think they deserve to go to jail for downloading music. But yes, it is not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HertogJan Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hehe, I bet Michail downloads music too!! Come on ppl, who DOESN't download music??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawBag™ Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Me. But I am obviously mental. But seen as Michael Jackson's music is still popular globally, and he owns the rights to all of the Beatles songs, why should he be worried about music downloads? He's rolling in it. Even though he's 2 beers short of a six-pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Oh please... in the U.S. MJ is the LAST person we need defending us!!! He's viewed as a freak by the media and won't help our cause! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 He makes a valid point atleast. A federal offense? I think someones just mad becase they couldn't afford the 10 person jacuzzi and had to get the 8 seater...greedy bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Siraious Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 There is nothing wrong with d/l music. Usually after I do d/l music I feel the need to purchase the album the song came off of. *Looks at the 3000 plus song on the laptop next to the family PC* D/L music is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's viewed as a freak by the media and won't help our cause! Well excuse me, but he is a person, and deserves the right to an opinion, just like every other person in this world. He has got a very good point though: the fact that even though the music is being downloaded illegally by fans, it is those same fans who buy the music in shops - "It is the fans that drive the success of the music business; I wish this would not be forgotten. - An important quote, why should people be thrown into jail for downloading music they are encouraged to buy/listen to? Even if it is illegal, the penalty should not be so harsh. Oh, and be careful what you mention in this thread, it's quite a controversial subject.

El Sitherino Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 technically they aren't incouraged to buy it they are incouraged to listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Sheer idiocy. Jail? For downloading music? Firstly this just screams invasion of privacy waiting to happen. Secondly why don't they spend tax money on something more valuable than stopping the evil file-sharers? Like...education? Stopping hard drugs? Finding abducted children? Lastly MJ may be crazy, but he has a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
