It will not be that exciting if the letter sends you straight behind bars. Don't wish for what you are not prepared to face, anyhow you're in Trinidad!

I believe Chaos is being sarcastic, however there is no laughing matter here since the level of piracy in Trinidad is way out of control. Trinidad has signed agreements that allow for external companies to prosecute those in violation of copyright laws. Therefore a company in the US could take to court an offender here, but of course it is highly unlikely and thus this is where the so called, 'luck' comes in. As for the downloading of music... I am glad it is being enforced. Piracy actually causes products to go up in many cases.

I was reading on CBSNews.com where many of the U.S. colleges and universities are urging students to not use the high speed internet connections to download and swap music files.

Schools: Stop The Music Swapping

Students arriving for fall classes at colleges across the country are facing technological hurdles and stern warnings aimed at ending swapping of music and movie files over high-speed campus Internet connections.

Several of the universities are responding to a recording industry campaign to control the rampant copying of files over peer-to-peer networks.

Among other things, campuses are distributing brochures, running ads in student newspapers and devoting school Web pages to information on copyright infringement.

Music file-swap amnesty planned
Recording industry won't sue those who delete downloads

The recording industry is expected to announce as early as next week an amnesty program for people who admit they illegally share music files across the Internet, promising not to sue them in exchange for their admission and pledge to delete the songs off their computers.

Hmm, so these people that come forward are supposed to sign a notarized statment and agree to delete all music files and not download again. I wonder how many people will go that route to keep from being sued?

:laugh: They are not really serious right? If they keep doing that then people will just download more freely because they will feel it is all a joke. Or maybe it is because they can't prove it without spending lots of money in court.
