File sharing to me is not really stealing.. Ok I lied. File sharing has become quite popular all over the globe and has become a mainstream problem. The main site that was being used to download illegal media was called "Limewire". If you live in this world, there is know way you dont know anything about the site. The owner of the site, Mike Gorton made alot of money and now he is going to pay the consequences of running the website while he knew it was wrong.
The second issue is how do you arrest a person for stealing music when in fact it could have been anyone but the owner of the device. The IP address is what the courts are trying to use and which seeems right its not. That doesnt clarify if it was truly that person, yes it does lead them in the direction of the person who stole the music but it could have been anyone. Anybody can use someone elses IP address to steal anything and the person getting accused will know nothing of the sort or what is going on.
The file sharing act goes is very long and difficult to understand. The main reason is to stop the illegal downloading of media that needs to be paid for. They are alot of reasons why the act is bad and doesn't make sense. The reason the article gives like ISP cost and unsupported accusations
