The Multimedia section is closed now. I don´t know when it will open again.

At the time it is too risky to share mp3´s. They hount for everyone and it would cost a few 1000 $.

Tough decision, but I understand you.
But I think, they are rather looking for people who make money by violating copyrights than only "normal" fans sharing some rare material.
I guess even Paul would approve this homepage with its multimedia content.

But I totally understand you.

And by the way: Does that mean you have more space now to upload videoclips ? ;o)
(Clips that were already on TV can be hosted and shared without violating any law, right ?)

At the time they hunt for everyone. Really hard times.
I saw it yesterday on TV, some 18 year olds which downloaded songs from the internet (the did not sell them or anything)
They have to pay 20.000 Euros - unbelievable.

They also said they hount for people sharing songs on websites(and I´m sure videos too) where they don´t have the copyright licence - and the fine will be as high as possible (a always a few thousand Euros)

But do you know what´s really strange. The lawyer of these 18 years Old said it´s legal to borrow a CD, make a copy, and give it back... and make a copy again of this copy - as long as you keep these copies private.

That´s so crazy.

Hey, I saw that on TV too yesterday.

But I wonder what happens with people who share bootlegs ? I mean, there is not really a copyright... and sites like sharingthegroove.org are still running.

I´ll never understand the law...not only in this topic....
