58 year-old granny sentenced for filesharing

Funny thing, if she hadn't seeded them she wouldn't have broken any laws.

Off-topic, but a couple of years ago I had letters from FACT (or lawyers claiming to represent them) wanting lots of moneys for me using P2P services. I thought it was for a demo my band did. I sent them proof I owned the copyright. It turned out to be for using Steam on my PC and torrenting Ubuntu ISO's. They where trying to extort money out of me for paying for a P2P distribution system and distributing FOSS software. Changed ISP away from BT and never had the problem again, or drastic caps between 12-10pm.

WTF?! What's a 58 year old file sharing.

Believe it or not people under the age of 30 don't own the internet...

Muir was caught downloading the tracks after an investigation by two music trade bodies, British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and the International Federation for the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

That is a lot of karaoke tracks. I wonder if they had suspicious of her or family using the tracks for a Karaoke DJ gig/Business.

Seriously?

This is sad -_-

BPI, here's a tip for you to stop losing money.
Dont invest in shit artists that make demands!
All those idiots who want 1 million pounds for a gig? Tell them to go fuck themselves

Invest in smaller (and cheaper) artists. I buy their music
