Kazaa to be shut down?

Posted by chrisd on from the it-aint-piracy-unless-you-have-an-eyepatch dept.

darkpriest writes "According to this article on The Register, the file sharing software KazaA has been ordered to cease copyright infringment. They have two weeks to comply with the Judges ruling or face a penalty of $40,000 a day." CD: We've gotten a number of submissions about this, I had no idea Kazaa was this popular (must be all those a's in their name). I bet anyday that the RIAA will sue cisco for making routers that could be used to infringe.

    Unfortunately, calling people out on their arguments doesn't really do any good on Slashdot. People don't want easy accessible music; they want free music. They don't want lower prices; they want to get something for nothing.

    If you're going to pirate something, at least admit to yourself that you're ripping off someone, not a victimized consumer standing up his rights.

    Gimme a break.
