Yeah, I definitely can see that, and good analogies. I actually think it's a shining wonder that football set itself up like it did and didn't become the morass that in my mind embodies baseball. I may have missed the joke, but I had to call you on it just because there are a fair amount of people that entirely believe in that logic.

Also, for me, Taft is a mythic hero because I hid behind his fatass cardboard representation in "Ballyhoo".

I LIVE!

I.....HUNGER!

RUN, COWARD!

Music labels hunt net 'pirates'

Record companies have also planted dummy files masquerading as popular tracks to try to deter song-swappers.

WHAA!?!!?!?! Not only are they bringing $150K lawsuits against people who USE FILESHARING APPS but they are also engaging in behavior which, if performed by a police officer, would be entrapment?

AND, if it really is a dummy file, it's not the track in question, and therefore, not copywritten.

RIAA needs to be stopped. NOW.

If I recieve one of those suits I am going probably start setting fire to record stores.

Timesunion.com is actually reporting that the lawsuits are $150K per file downloaded!!

Fuck Alan Keyes, the RIAA is BATSHIT FUCKING INSANE.

This is Happy Day, Jack. That didn't sound very happy to me.

Yeah no shit. I forgot about the $12.50 pricefixing fiasco, RobB. Also signed up for that one.

If a thief steals your wallet and you manage to run after him and recover a $10 bill that was dropped from your wallet, does this make you a thief?

Whoa, easy there Jack! Remember, it's Happy Day!! Keep it on the positive!

You sound like a pricegouging broken record with only one good song out of 12.

Has anyone else figured out why most CD's cost more than most DVD's? I mean, the DVD itself costs more to produce, especially dual layer ones. Movies cost a HELL of a lot more to produce than a CD - shit, movies have music in them too!

Oh yeah, this is the RIAA we're dealing with here.

I have a question. Has anyone actually been brought up on charges from these $150K lawsuits? No, seriously. Has the RIAA actually managed to get any money from these lawsuits, other than bullying people into giving over all of their money? Fuck that. They know for damn sure that if they actually go to cort the case will get thrown out faster than a gay man in Texas or even a Jew in an Alabama public school. They're just throwing huge numbers at tiny people who obviously can't afford the costs and hope that they will just fold in fear. And you know what? Its fucking working.
This. Must. Be. Stopped What the RIAA is doing is no less than petty theivery. They can *not* be allowed to continue getting away with this. We must form a coalition--I'm completely fucking serious here--and formally bring the RIAA up on charges. Because if we don't hurry up, one of these cases are going to go to trial. And with the no-worth fucknut useless judges we have today, they might very well win. I mean, hell. If some dumber than a sack of rocks blonde can get a hundred grand for *spilling coffee*, than what *can't* they get away with?

That's right, just *ignore* my rousing peptalk to get the RIAA deposed. Just go ahead, go along with your lives.
Motherfuckers, the lott of you, useless bastards to the man. Pfft.

As a matter of actual, verifiable fact, yes.

Tee-hee!

The family signed up for the Kazaa (search) music-swapping service three months ago, and paid a $29.99 service charge.

So, in other words, the girl's getting fucked from both ends. Somebody should be going to prison here.

Latest (GO BACK TO FARK) news is that they quickly settled for having her mother pay $2000. I have to say, if this had been kept under wraps, they probably wouldn't have had to pay that much of anything, but because of the media circus, it gave them a chance to say they were 'only' charging the family this, and getting the word out that yes, you, too, can owe the RIAA thousands of dollars. Fuckers.

Y'know what? Screw my Ford Indigo & Collection of Light-Gun Games, when I win the lottery I am using *every* penny against these fuckers.

In America, the lotteries are large enough where you can buy a Ford AND engage the RIAA in legal sniping!
