she used kazza to get an mp3 version that was ripped by someone else

kazza was just a format shifting tool.

this case is about needling download rights in favor or people plain and simple

if it was truely about defending herself she would have made the fair use claim

pointed to the RPVR cases ruling that fair use must be determined based on the POV of the user not the network, and be done with completely.



This lady has already been sued for sharing 1700 other songs.
And it's not that she "illegally downloaded 24 songs"; it about her sharing
those 24 songs with 60 million people.

If only food worked like file sharing; then one dude could buy one McDouble
for .99 cents and take it to the hood and feed everybody.
Wouldn't life just be fucking great.............. Except for anyone who invested in McDonalds.
