I just added 22 U2 mp3's to my briefcase
Look in the music folder here:
http://f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/shagatopia

This is a list of what's in there so far:

Slick Idiot wRammstein-Xcess
Boy Named Sue - Cash
Folsum Prison Blues - Cash
Erotica - Madonna
Love Will Keep Us Together C T
Hordes of Locusts Joe Satriani
Paint it Black Rolling Stones
u2_3SUNRISES
u2_ANGEL_OF_HARLEM
u2_BAD
u2_BASS_TRAP
u2_DANCING_BAREFOOT
u2_DESIRE
u2_EVERLASTING_LOVE
u2_I_WILL_FOLLOW
u2_LOVE_COMES_TO_TOWN
u2_NEW_YEARS_DAY
u2_PARTY_GIRL
u2_PRIDE
u2_SILVER_AND_GOLD
u2_SPANISH_EYES
u2_STILL_HAVENT_FOUND
u2_STREETS_HAVE_NO_NAME
u2_SUNDAY_BLOODY_SUNDAY
u2_SWEETEST_THING
u2_THE_UNFORGETTABLE_FIRE
u2_UNCHAINED_MELODY
u2_WITHORWITHOUTYOU

Just mp3 files and the move on.org ads. Look in the music folder for these songs. Why do I do this? Because I loathe Napster and their ilk. You always get some spayware crap when you download their stupid "file sharing" programs. Why do you need a program anyway? Just put the damn files up there in a universal format, so they can be played in any player. So dl these mp3's if you like them (and dont have any of them already) for FREE, because thats just me. I was thinking of adding Pantera next, unless someone hoots and hollars for something else. Enjoy!

Thick as thieves.


Maybe you should consider copyrights and intellectual property rights laws?

As per Yahoo & your iilegal endeavor

3. No album in its entirety
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 12:35 PM by Mobius
I am promoting them. I sure as hell ain't making money off of them. I pay to put them up there. Actually Bono and the rest of U2 have said publicly on many occasions that they don't care if there music is distributed as long as its not for profit. I also made pure mp3's available for free, without some sneaky spy ware slipped in to some "file sharing" program. Also mp3's are near CD quality but not quite. You will get better fidelity if you BUY the CD. Many poor people can't afford to buy a CD and have it suck. If you haven't heard a group before, listen to a few of their tunes, and you are many times more likely to go out and buy the studio Cd's. I uploaded ALL of those mp3's from Cd's I myself purchased. I am not a thief, I think your characterization was a bit harsh.

5. You are acting on behalf of these people?
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 12:39 PM by Mobius
1: (from Yahoo)Provide an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;

So email u2, see what they say.

11. Actually, its you who should provide authorization
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 12:58 PM by Mika
You claim to be acting on the behalf of the owner of the copyright (U2 in this case).

You do not own the copyright, and you do not have expressed permission to distribute the owners property, even for free.
