I don't give a sh1t about their copyright laws. Just think, if
it's illegal to compile songs on to mp3 players, then what's the
use of all the big companies making mp3 players and keep on getting
consumers to purchase it. The only thing they have achieved with
these copyright laws is they have successfully tried to instill a
sense of fear, paranoia and confusion among users.
I've downloaded so many mp3s from ordinary internet websites and
nothing happens to me, I never use P2P file-sharing networks at
all. I burn most of my songs onto CDs, CD-Rs too. They don't know
what you do with the songs you download anyway, provided you use
those popular p2p file-sharing networks which are more obvious in
nature.
Copyright laws are applicable to music on the Internet. If you
download, upload, copy on a server, save on your drive, burn on a
CDR, compile on your MP3 player, or distribute any music file
without the consent of the copyright owner, you are guilty of
copyright infringement. Aside from the illegal nature of these
activities, many do not realise that these actions will destroy the
very music that they love.
illegal copies
The law in Singapore provides that the making, importation,
distribution or sale of such unauthorized copies is a violation of
the Copyright Act. Any person found guilty of such an offence is
liable to a maximum fine of $10,000 per article and/or a maximum
jail term of 5 years.
If you download, upload, copy
on a server, save on your drive, burn on a CDR, compile on your MP3
player, or distribute any music file without the consent of the
copyright owner, you are guilty of copyright
infringement.
LOL, as if they know every single person who has done it.
It's illegal to compile on a mp3 player!?
Only a bunch of idiots would write such a rule.
How many people here have mp3s stored on the devices mentioned
here?
The face of the earth is being turned into one big giant
prison.
