In ANY case Music should be an UNIVERSAL holding as patrimonio del humanidad ….

A french adv for LEGAL music distribution indicates than more than a BILLION of piracy files are exchanged every year… SO a billion of judiciary cases ???

Dumb fu*ks trying to stifle innovation via threats and industry lobbied laws rather than adapt.

The only ones who are going to make a killing on this are the lawyers, the industry is too dumb to see this is going to fail… but everyone else sees the writing clearly on the wall.

I have used soulseek in the past. all i can say is that soulseek is an awesome alternative to limewire. The downloads are fast, and the application is very light and simple. I vote for a victory (hopefully) to soulseek.

How promising! Perhaps soon they will shut every way of getting educated in new music, and we will unanimously buy only what major tv networks advertise. Superb, no?

Sarcasm, aside, SoulSeek helped me discover sub genres that were never available in my country, and loads of Japanese artists, that were not available anywhere in Europe.

Due to SoulSeek and a couple other communities we have educated the ones interested and now we are supporting artists that we would have never heard of, other wise.

Saying p2p hurts sales, is a freaking oxymoron. Please stop suing innocents chaps, they need the money to support you, idiotic music industry!

These music companies make many millions of dollars off of people buying records. However, for them that is not enough. As long as there is one person out there DLing something and, in their eyes, “stealing” from them then then they will go after whoever they can. They are money grubbing _______!!

so what happens if soulseek is in country X, and they get sued in france…? are they going to send french cops to country X, or ask for extradition? wtf. it just doesn’t make any sense, if anything, don’t allow for downloads to france from the soulseek site, but this won’t stop french users from getting the soulseek client, are they stupid?

@42
It is completely incorrect that money is all the power in the world. Sure, money ensures a lot of power, which is why, over the ages, the big lords were able to oppress the peasants so much. However, it is not without historical precedent that the the will of the people have triumphed over the power of money. Take, for example, the progressive era in the U.S.

Exactly. No one uses it, so it is almost impossible to find some of the rarer stuff.

Why do you guys even bother posting stories about a program maybe 5k people use regularly?
