Sound Choice may be backing off on format shifting

Now with Sound choice backing off a bit, do you think that people with loaded hard drives are going to stop worrying?

Will this lead to more pirates? More cheap competition?

Nobody I know cared about what Sound Choice preached in the first place. I don't see this having any affect on anything.

My concern is more illegal competition from loaded KJs without the fear of anyone coming after them.

Sound Choice was pushing the $250,000 per song issue. Will all the piracy chasers be backing off too?

Do we really need more competition from undercutters?

No, they haven't backed off they have just regrouped.

Doesn't sound like the two convictions mentioned were just your local neighborhood KJs.

200 computers

Ebay, thousands of songs....they were a major operation.

I'll say this, anyone who's purchased a pre-loaded hard drive should be very nervous right now. They've got his computers, do you think for a moment there isn't some form of customer information to be gleamed from those systems? It wouldn't shock me at all to see them target the purchasers next.

Has anyone heard what the final sentencing was? I couldn't find anything and all the article says is what they could get not what they did get.

That case was two years ago. He's probably out KJing again in the hood.

The site doesn't seem to be up-to-date. If that's the lastest news.

It seems like they have stopped too.
