Eventually it will get shut down and ANOTHER one will come....they will never win in stopping people from sharing music/software/etc., I dont see why they even try anymore.

update Sharing copyrighted works on peer-to-peer networks is legal in Canada, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday, handing the record industry a sharp setback in its international fight against file swappers.
http://news.com.com/2100-1027_3-5182641.html
We're a little more with the times in Canada then many otherparts of the world.
Many moons ago the recording and movie industries took it to court to recieve revenue from blank recording media, they won, and now recieve revenue from blank media, but this also ment that making copies was legal.
Its great to live in a progressive country like Canada

did u read this,2 canadians were arrested,info is internal,found it on nforce awhile back :

Legends never die!

You all read the news - Operation Fastlink struck hard to the heart of the
scene and hit the FairLight ISO section, but mind that the demo activities
on the PC and C64 are still naturally untouched, as there is nothing to
complain about from a legal point of view on what they are doing.

So, let me underline it for you again: FairLight's ISO section is lethally
wounded, but the group as such is still alive and kicking!
FairLight is built stronger to last longer.

FairLight is bigger than one and even all of the sections.
FairLight is and you can rely on the fact that FairLight will continue to be!

Respects to the Fastlink people for finding the core of the scene, which is
not an easy thing to do.
They are doing their job and we're not whining! In war, people take bullets
- we are aware of this!
If you can't stand the sight of body bags, then stand back and let the
real men do the work for you.

We attack, adapt, improvise and survive!

We are FairLight and will continue to be FairLight.

FairLight IS the delight of ETERNAL might!

/Bacchus on Behalf of the FairLight council

PS:

Reading up on the izonews.com is very distressing.
People tend to think that there will always be another cracker and that
getting the games early is star quality here. It's not!

Protections of today are ones that *very* few can penetrate and those who do,
should be worthy the respect. Downloading them fast is just a matter of a
fast line in combination to access to a site.
Skills stay, whereas the access can be revokes instantly!

So admire the striker of the ruling football team and don't not feel proud
about being the beer bellied lardass, who managed to get a ticket to watch
unless you don't stand amongst the supporters, singing praise.
You have no idea of what it's like to play and what it takes to excel!

We do it for the thrill, joy and the fans, but don't take us for granted
without showing justified respect.

More On FairLight

FairLight as a group enjoyed it's 17th birthday in April 2004 and is amongst
the oldest on the scene, and possibly the only one this old having a unbroken
line of reign on several platforms since it's birth.
Our council has a common scene experience exceeding 50 years.

We've proven the group on the Commodore 64, the Amiga, Super Nintendo and
the PC, with a modular approach to forming the group.

Current vivid activities still includes demo production on the PC and
one the Commodore 64.

hmmm, i'm posting about mud=sic and movie sharing and have no clue as to what you just posted in there, are you discussing Warez or legal activity in Canada, I'm talking legal file sharing, not Warez

i was talking about movies&gamez = warez
no matter if its legal in Canada or not but if you share copyrighted dvd,divx,vcd,svcd,etc movies or games its against international law and its illegal
and its also hard to find out whats LEGAL file sharing and whats not IMO
so my suggestion would be do not download it,buy it

Gotta love IE, good thing it does not have to be payed for or it would be distributed as Warez also

Most of what I have in my directories is rips of my own stuff, unfortunatly, the majority of my music collection was hawked to by my teenager to fund his drug ussage, so now the only copy of music that I bought is what is on my computer as I no longer have the disks.
In Canada it is legal to have such copies at this time, in the future? Who knows, I coud be thrown in jail for having copies of what I originally purchased.

Wow they even get a cut from the Blank Media!? They are making $ hand over fist man. I wonder how this money is distributed and who oversees it. Thats probably a lotta dough.

They are just spreading propaganda to help their case. They wanna scare people to start thinking "Im losing 35% of my bandwidth" and help stop the use of Filesharing altogether. MPAA and RIAA would love for that to happen.
They just wanna begin the campaign to make BT to look like the bad guys.

Legal file sharing is legal anywhere.
