Re: No F-ing way!

I have received an email from the Abuse Department of DIRECTV Broadband, Inc. about a file I had downloaded off KaZaA. As I recall, the file I downloaded didn't even "play" and was only retained in "my shared folder" on KaZaA until I deleted it the next day, but now I have this email:
They have to prove that file contained illegal content, and the only way to prove that is to download it and view it. If it didn't play correctly and no one downloaded it from you, then you are safe.
You can have files called "Road_to_Perdition.DivX.AVI" or "Photoshop.RAR" that could contain AVIs of you reviewing that movie/software that you took with your camcorder.
That being said, if you do dabble in "quasi-legal" digital stuff, you may want to stick to various Usenet groups where you will be a lot safer. |
