Eddie, from the way I read it if an ISP has someone that it is providing service for, say A.com, and A.com has a forum that allows copyrighted music to be swapped, even by email, then the music nazi’s would go after the ISP. The ISP would either have to pay penalties, be shut down or both if the ISP did not terminate A.com. I doubt this would ever happen but who would like to be the first trial case. I bet it would cost a fortune.

I agree with you about the RIAA. I had to stop supplying a site for 50s music because my lousy sounding midi songs, they had to use the MS midi sound set, contained lead lines. This was before DAWs and MP3s. So no matter how bad the music sounded if it contained a copyrighted melody it was a no no. Note that I was not charging any money, I was just trying to help someone get the site up and running.

Yep, I did forget that PG was in Canada. I have no idea how their laws apply to this situation. But as no copyrighted songs are allowed in the users forum then they maybe close to ours. Don’t know for sure.

If I can dig up that article I’ll point you to it.
