Hello everyone, this is my first thread and if it is pointless i apologize to the moderators for giving them one more thread to delete
But i just have one thing to ask and dunno where 2 put it:
I have recently found out that the Dutch Supreme Court has declared KaZaA to be perfectly legal and not responsible for the "illegal" material distributed. However, my query involves the liabilities of the users.
In other words, if I, a user of KaZaA / KaZaA Lite K++ / KaZaA Lite Resurrection, living in the Netherlands, runs a search for a song (ie Static-X - Cold) or a movie (Underworld) and so on, and then simply download the song/movie .. is that or isn't it illegal? (i am aware that
sharing copyrighted material is illegal, but my question is if i download something off the KaZaA network, am I violating any laws?).
Furthermore, if the actual download is illegal, how safe is it to use the P2P software then? .. can you get caught/charged with anything if you download off KaZaA (but are a d*ck and don't upload).
That about sums up what I wanned to know. Any answers and suggestions will be greatly appreciated and I again apologize for any inconveniences that this thread has caused
