Hobe Sound woman in trouble for filesharing

We actually had to look up exactly what “Hobe Sound” is. Call us ignorant, but it sure doesn’t sound like the name of a town. Regardless, a woman from Hobe Sound stands accused of distributing 419 copyrighted songs through filesharing networks.

Among the free music downloads on this music fan’s hard drive were N*SYNC and American Idol nutcase Paula Abdul. Stephanie Wielinski apparently used filesharing networks to distribute the songs in April last year.

With all the fuss being made about the Jammie Thomas case at the moment, it’s anybody’s guess what will happen to the hapless Hobe Sound resident. Filesharing cases are gradually becoming more and more bizarre and increasingly muddled.

If a woman in a place called Hobe Sound can be prosecuted for free music downloads, that doesn’t leave much hope for the rest of us. We’re here to stand up for Hobe Sound in the name of free music downloads.
