Legal Question in Technology Law in Florida
Music Sharing
Is the use of on-line ''music sharing'' services such as ''kaaza.com'' an illegal way to obtain musical titles for my personal use and enjoyment?
Any information would be helpful.
Thank you.

Re: Music Sharing
As long as you are doing the downloading purely for personal use this would be considered a fair use under the law. Clearly copying the music and reselling it would be a violation, and possibly copying and giving it to someone else may be an infraction. If you think your friends want a copy just tell them where to go so they can download it for their own fair use exception.
