Could I be getting sued twice for downloading music?

On Yahoo News, a lady is being sued for $ 222,000 for downloading & sharing copyrighted music...?

  • ....So what is the crime ? The downloading, the sharing, or both ? They say she "distributed" copyrighted music illegally. She used Kazaa. And if it's illegal, ...show more

  • Answer:

    I'm not exactly sure.. Limewire, Kaza, etc. are legal. It's just the way they are used, to ''disturb'' copyrighted material, which makes it illegal So, the program is legal, but the way some of it's used is not. If that makes any sense.

She was sort of asking for it when she contested the charges and claimed to doubt the validity of the record companies claims to own the music. Come on, how many years has it been since Napster? How could you not know it's copyrighted. They are starting to come down hard on people, whereas before companies have just complained and sort of let things slide. The sites technically aren't the ones sharing files.
