I was wondering as to whether Streaming Video (not downloading) is illegal to do? For example if I have a movie on my computer and I wish for a friend to watch it on his computer as well, and I stream it, would that be illegal? Since he is not downloading it and therefore once I end the video...

Ah ok thanks for the clarification. Off topic, but in courts, do they seriously argue the legalities by the way something is worded? Even though the person who wrote the law meant to include it, but since the way it was worded, could that throw it out of court? If so, would that mean that...

Thanks. Is it more expensive to target the downloaders, this is the reason that they go only after the uploaders?

Thanks again, you always pull through and I appreciate it! I didn't know about these Disclaimers and I find it very funny (not to laugh at, but ridiculous) that the whole purpose is to descramble the signal, yet they word it in such a way to free them of any charges and fines that the buyer may...

O my...thanks for the tip thelawprofessor. What if the song is on a "streaming" server. Streaming meaning that the song is "streamed", therefore it is not downloaded to their computer? Still talking about MIDIs. Thanks again!

Thanks thelawprofessor. The reason I am asking is because I had a friend before that used to talk about his "black box". Don't know if he still has it, but the question arose when a couple of friends and I were pondering on the subject since we used to always see "Descrambler for sale" and...

I would like to know if possessing and operating a cable descrambler in your household is illegal. I have seen these in the back of magazines and papers and find it odd that if it was illegal, why are they being advertised? Cable descramblers aren't the same as black boxes. With a cable...

Thanks a lot for describing it to me. I just wanted to make sure before I put it up. Thanks again!

Thanks dir. This only goes in regards to MIDIs and not the real songs on MP3 and such correct? Those are considered illegal?

I was wondering if MIDIs are against the law to distribute or stream. A MIDI is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midi Basically it is instruments and such. No vocals and it is not from the audio file itself, but created by someone else. The song that I want to sue though, is from an...

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks AcidShock and especially TheLawProfessor. My goodness, law is so confusing! Thanks for the detailed rundown of the law TheLawProfessor. I am a bit confused in regards to it saying that it needs to be a certain color on the exterior. Does that mean if I...

I would like to know if downloading eBooks was illegal. Has there ever been a lawsuit against someone downloading eBooks? All I hear are cases that get big money such as movies and music, but has such a thing happened to eBooks and is it illegal to download them? Thanks

Hello, I was wondering as to what are the laws in California regarding BB Guns, CO2 Guns, etc. I read that they were labelled as "Imitation Guns" but I am not sure if I was reading it right. Here is something I found these on the Attorney Generals website under the Firearm section...

Hi, I would like to know if downloading video clips that are on a password protected site, but are bundled together on Kazaa or Edonkey to download are illegal. I know movies and music are but what about video clips that are found on sites? Thanks a lot
