File Sharing

It's another one, Grokster Ltd. has agreed to stop distributing the program/software that allows users to copy songs over the internet. They lost to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday.

Honestly, I never even heard of Grokster.

They didn't went just after the users, they went after the program makers. Seems that they are taking a strong attack on this one.

They are going for the programmers to stop distributing or else get sued a whole bunch of money. Seems that the industry is going back to normal again. No more illegal downloading.

I don't agree with the above said. We all know that one program gets shut down, then another program will come around and everyone will use it.

Remember Napster? When at a point Napster died, Kazaa took over, then iMesh and any p2p file sharing programs.

When will this stop? They should maybe concentrate on the country and the world, instead of concentrating on suing childrens and programmers. The country wanted people to get jobs so the government can get tax money. But when programmers gets a job, they have to stop doing what they were learning to do in the first place.

So tell me, country, why do you make us go to college and learn all those useless things and make us work to give you tax money and yet the stuff we learned aren't allowed to be used in its potential for a new invention? Please Tell Me...
