if only joel lived in china…

Hi Professor Nesson - Thought you might be interested to know that 30 out of the 31 songs Joel Tenenbaum downloaded can be downloaded legally and for free if you’re located in China. I got the list of songs from the wikipedia entry on the JT case and then searched the songs on google.cn/music (links included below). If you try to download the songs in the US you get the message “暂时没有对您所在的地区提供下载和试听服务 Music streaming/download services are not available in your region.” The google.cn/music site didn’t go live until 2008 - after Joel did his downloading - but still, the message it sends is quite remarkable: i.e. we’re going to give away our copyrighted material for free to the Chinese (presumably because they’ll download it for free anyway), but we’ll punish severely American college students who download the same material without paying.
p.s. query as to whether joel could be sued for downloading the songs from the google.cn site using VPN ??

So what did they say to this? Also, what about that ONE song which you ILLEGALLY downloaded? :)) How much is that worth in damages, 6750 USD?
These songs are also available on google music (in the US, which is still beta, but still available for free)
So what happened since this post? Not much? Still waiting for the judge’s decision or something?
As soon as I observed this site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.
awesome occupation, it’s wonderful publish. the information is fantastic to know!
I used to be recommended this website by way of my cousin. I am now not certain whether this submit is written through him as nobody else recognise such unique approximately my trouble. You’re wonderful! Thanks!
