well explained. I've read some news that a female was caught sharing music files over the internet and she was asked to pay some amount of money.

Read the article. It's illegal to download pirated software
no matter what technique you use - torrent, direct download
or anything else. If you didn't pay for Halo, it's illegal
to download it.

well have a question i do torrent but mainly old games like fallout, command and conquer, and other games made around and before 2000. so is it illegal if the games arent being produce.
and if you can answer this please email it to me at cobal@live.com
Posted by: cobal at July 30, 2008 8:57 PMIt's all very well. I understand copyright and all but how do those guys on U tube get away with it? I'm sure that everyone there isn't asking for a copywright :(
Posted by: Gail at September 7, 2008 7:08 PMIt's technically still illegal to download old software that isn't been produced as the copyright is still valid. Unfortunate considering that a video game is counted as old when it's 6 months old..
Posted by: Chris at September 14, 2008 3:35 AMCopyright lasts for years and years and it seems no one person has a right to anything these days. But I'm still wondering how those guys get away with uploading stuff to U Tube? @@@!!! Do they have copyright - do they have a right at all?
Posted by: Gail at September 18, 2008 5:54 PMpart of this makes scenes and part does not u tube and other places give u the html code for movies and pictures so that is essentially the same thing right
Posted by: bclitmrusx at November 24, 2008 4:30 PMBut what about designers? I have produced a digital file which I sell from my online shop, and google alerts took me to a free download site the other day offering my most expensive product (only US$15) for free download. This is my main seller, and some of the items in there are deliberately not available for free - there are other products I offer for free. I contacted them and told them to remove it which they did, but the next day I went back and they are offering the same product under a different name. What rights do I have? I created it, I own it, I am the only distributor of it. It's just plain rude. I want their site removed, they are prats.
