If people are sharing your music, you have a number of options but worrying about the actual people doing the sharing is unlikely to help in any way other than sucking up a lot of money for solicitors. I know you didn't ask about this part so feel free to ignore if not relevant: The MPAA and related organisations have made quite a few attempts at this. So once shared, there is no realistic way to prevent it continuing without a significant amount of money available to do things like poisoning the files so people end up downloading rubbish. The two Wikipedia articles I've linked to contain a good starting point for understanding how the networks operate. Older versions of Bearshare support gnutella, later versions have a proprietary sharing service.īoth of these networks are fully distributed and do allow for searching without a central database. I suggest looking it up on google.Limewire does indeed support Torrent peer-to-peer networking as well as gnutella. Another thing is the exact law may change from state to state from my knowlege of te US system such things commmonly are very varyed. I think i remember hearing that in the news.
In the United states i never looked to much into it but belive it is illeagal but i belive they may also have it legal to download but not to share. Also the rule implies that to convict you they must have your IP and because many people's IP changes all the time it is hard to prove if you have one of those computors who's fault it is(i have one and from website trackers i have found this out). Canada it is actualy legal for example: They where going to make a law that said that people could not share music(i have not looked throughly into anything else) but the election we are currently having stopped this and the bill was never passed though i think it will be later.Įven if it is passed then you will still be able to share them.
It is legal to have these programs no matter where you are.
