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..!!

His repeat file sharing misadventures are tiresome.

copyrighted material and if the RIAA had it's way the whole internet
would be shut down as well..!!

by galacticgufus January 2, 2008 6:53 PM PST: 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.
