No more copyright infringing than Google is..

Like Google, Slideload is nothing more than a search engine which
points you to anything available online irrelevant of copyright
status. If Slideload has to go then so does Google and every search
engine available..!!

exactly

exactly, but then i wonder where we will get our information. i guess we'll just have to go back to the record company owned radio stations

A slam dunk case!

Being the mechanism for downlading copyrighted digital music
seals it. Why doesn't Robertson develop a new, functional idea?
His repeat file sharing misadventures are tiresome.

Re: A slam dunk case!

You could say the internet is a mechanism for downloading
copyrighted material and if the RIAA had it's way the whole internet
would be shut down as well..!!

if only

if only we still lived in the 'good old days' when record company executives like you could still force us to listen to whatever you wanted. if you don't want your recordings to be distributed freely, take them off the radio. stop the payola and let the radio stations play what the public wants.

Show me the Money

MP.3 cries foul, after making millions off artists, like me, who never see a cent. Go to hell and rot you vermin...
