Of course they will, all those crooked politician's care about is the money they get from the record industry.

ive got a better idea... why dont they just charge something for companys to have websites to be able to still distrubute music. I emailed the senator of my state ,texas, but of course its been 3 months and he probly deleted it un caringly

Sure, but thats really a 50-50 thing ya know (heh), p2p file sharing technology has really improved alot since napster

.. they might be able to ban it, but they wont be able to stop it

i think they can't really do it, since it would be almost impossible, they'd have to shut down almost every p2p program out there.

things like bittorrent would take years upon years to shut down. i'm pretty sure they'd have to use millions of dollars to shut down every torrent server on this earth... i don't think it's really worth it...

Yeah, if they could leagally do it. Most of the good BitTorrent sites are off in the ass end of nowhere, far out of the US's legal reach. And by the ass end of nowhere, I mean like islands in the pacific. Really obscure stuff.

The Senate can pass all the bills they want but unless the House of Representatives passes it and the President signs it, there is no law. Besides, the US Congress banned illegal music downloads years ago when they instituted coyright laws and extended them to cover recorded music.

They can try but the only thing is that they can't police the world thus, if we can't d/l music from servers here in america we'll just have to be smart enough to d/l from foriegn servers were no one gives a damn.

This has already passed in the UK, there are certain sites (MSN, music club of Wanadoo, Virgin) that you can pay sums of money for amounts of tune or pay for each mp3 you download.

This is frustrating for me, I refuse to get another P2P untill I've got virus protection so it's harder to get music now, just to hear it. Usually if I like something I go out and buy the cd anyway but I like to try things first. So in the end they are just making less money from me because I will just buy less music.

THere is no way the senate can bann downloading music, its just impossible. No matter how many sites they bann a new one will always come up. The senate would just be wasting money trying to ban downloading music.
