Still, Gnutella hit a nerve. Napster had been ...Shared by Davis (35)Comment View comments -

Son ocho páginas de sentencia, pero de verdad que vale la pena leerla entera, y hasta subrayarla: el escrito del Juez Raúl N. García Orejudo es claro, sencillo de entender, y no deja lugar a ninguna, ninguna duda. Después de esto, puedes, con toda tranquilidad, corregir a cualquiera al que escuches decir “descargas ilegales”, “piratería”, u otras estupideces similares no ajustadas a la realidad ni a Derecho.
