Whistling a $675,000 Tune…

So, apparently…a college student illegally downloaded 30 songs, and is now being sued for copyright infringement to the tune of $675,000. And that ain’t just whistling Dixie. That is some serious jingling cash.

So, if you think the authorities: 1. Can’t find you, and 2. Won’t care if you illegally download songs, you’ve got another thing coming. And ignorance of the laws is not a viable defense.

Remember what I always say: Everything you do on the computer is like using an outhouse with glass walls. Not a pretty picture, is it? The computer is not a mirror; it’s a window. People can see you, too. It’s not worth it. Make the technology work for you, and you’re not working for it.
