File Sharing

Arizona Internet Crimes Defense

"It's just file sharing. How serious can it be?" You might pose this question if you have recently been arrested for illegal downloading of music, movies or software. Just ask the University of Arizona student who received a three-month prison term and fines in excess of $5,000 for file sharing in 2005.

Using file sharing sites such as Limewire and NetEase can cost you a lot more than you bargained for. Don't take chances with your defense — contact the experienced attorneys of Billar & Donald, P.C. for a free consultation today.
