Is File Sharing Illegal If Rights Owner Says It's Okay to Share?

Oct 08, 2008 - I go back and forth on the file sharing debate, unable to find solid footing on just one side of the issue. But when I heard that Michael Moore was releasing his new documentary online as a free download, and was even encouraging watchers to "share it or show it in any way you see fit," I thought "Okay, that works." But unfortunately, after the film showed up on torrent sites, letters of cease-and-desist were delivered to many users, sparking a geographical sharing debate. - 8 Comments

Most File Sharing Happens at Night

Feb 13, 2008 - If you do most of your legally questionable (or totally legal and legit!) file sharing at night you're not alone. According to a recent article from the Times Online most file sharing — which commonly takes the form of downloading movies, music and TV shows via peer-to-peer programs like Limewire, BitTorrent and KaZaA — happens at night. In fact about eight million people are on file-sharing networks at any one time. - 10 Comments

Lily's Bare Faced After Joss Claims She's Not a Singer

Nov 05, 2009 - After covering her face in inventive makeup for Halloween at the weekend, Lily Allen gave her skin a break and went for the natural look as she enjoyed dinner at the Ivy in London last night. She wasn't smiling, perhaps due to Joss Stone's comments about her. In response to Lily's stand on making internet file sharing a criminal offense, Joss says music should be shared for free whenever possible, and said Lily "needs to sell records because she's not a singer, and that's not an offense to her because I think that she knows that too." - 2 Comments
