Kazaa Trial In Australia Underway

Posted by Hemos on from the attacking-on-all-fronts dept.

wadiwood writes "Five record companies are suing the makers of Kazaa. Sharman (moved to vanuatu in Feb 2004) say they are not responsible for what their users do with the software. Personally I don't get what Sony is doing selling MP3 players for all your "favourite tunes" and then selling music which they say you are not allowed to copy to their MP3 players, but that's another story."

    As the parent poster, I feel some sort of obligation to go back and see what people have written in response to my post. It's only civil.

    However, as a responder, do you not feel at all any obligation to be coherent, much less logical?

    Forever time with this "If you don't like it, don't buy it" argument.

    Does not parse.

    If they don't like it, they don't have to sell it.

    Makes zero logical sense.

    I am tired of being an unpaid enforcer of their policies

    What made up world are you living in, again?

    Fact of the mater is they are introducing a product with an immature technology for protecting their interests.

    What size tin foil hat do you wear, again?

    So they impose upon mine.

    Hooked on phonics.

    Licensing be damned: I don't tell them how to spend the money used to purchase their product, so quit telling me how to use the product

    Old and busted: that argument.

    Why should the onus be strictly upon me?

    Sigh. For the billionth time. If you dont like the agreement, DONT BUY THE PRODUCT.

    The rest of your argument is the same nonsense. For the life of me, I can't imagine what your point is, but you do sure make for a great rant!
