File Sharing

Everyone at one point in time download music illegally from the Internet. No one would have ever thought that the United States would crack down on such actions. Well they did. They are suing the owner of LimeWire, Mark Gorton for $75 trillion. That is a lot of money however, the owner is not a some poor man living in this country. He has over a $1 million real estate.

Lets take it back a few years ago. They had asked him for years to come in partnership with the 13 record labels he was ripping off. He refused that offer and he hired a lawyer Cohen to defend his agreements. Cohen tried to advise him on taking the deal but he still refused the offer. Years alter he was sued for the big amount of money. One may feel sorry for him but he knew the risk of getting caught when he first signed up for the illegal act.

We all understand that he was suppose to be a an example to the rest of the file sharing companies. However, there are still many websites that let people download music free and illegally. So what did the judge succeed on? I believe that they will always be a way to download music illegally and no one will truly be able to put a stop to it.
