I spent two years in prison for conspiracy to willfully commit copyright infringement." What country was this in? If it is not asking too much, would you provide more details about your experience so others may learn how to protect themselves. TIA.

Warner Music Group CEO, Edgar Bronfman, admitted his one or more of his seven children had downloaded music illegally. Interesting to note that even though he had first hand knowledge of the offenses, he did not subpoena their ISPs or issue a lawsuit against any of them. Instead, he told them that it was wrong to download music illegally, and he reassured us that they will no longer be doing that again. [...] […] And here’s a fun twist.

Imagine you are a college student that gets sued. What happens after that? All of your friends find out "Dude, check this out, I'm getting sued for downloading music." (hahahaha...laughter and disbelief ensue]. Now all of your friends and all of their friends instantly HATE the recording industry and will think of them as the ENEMY FOREVER. Remember what it was like to be in college? That's just wonderful marketing, getting young people to hate your company early in life. The recording industry is screwed. Which makes a happy ending to their grip on popular music, don't you think? The recording industry has to be composed of the most stupid, vindictive people of all time.

Subsequently when there is a voilation, stern warning coud be issued before any litigation proceedings. Otherwise we will make all lawyers fat!!

So what did Edgar Bronfman, CEO of Warner Music, have to say when questioned as to whether any of his seven kids pirate music? “I’m fairly certain that they have, and I’m fairly certain that they’ve suffered the consequences.” Funny, we haven’t heard about any inter-familial lawsuits involving Bronfman sr. v. Bronfman jr. concerning definitions in fair use and music piracy. In fact, given that he knows what pirates live in his house using his internet connection, it should only follow that he sue his children into eternal debt (not before having Warner Music shut off their household internet connection at the ISP level). After all, what’s good for the goose is good — ah forget it. Every time we try to apply logic and reason to the executives behind the RIAA our brains do a zero divide.
