I heard today that The RIAA sued a college student in Boston
$675,000
for illegally download and sharing 30 songs. ........Man that's
gonna
leave a mark. Do you think this will save the recording industry?
That's $22500.00 per song. I hope they were good tunes.

The suit has been going on for a long time. A higher court ruled
upholding
the lower court's ruling and imposition of the fine. The supreme
court
refused without comment to hear the appeal. At least that's what
I
remember
from the radio news report I heard today. So, you want it free
and
want
to
pass it around to your friends? Maybe not such a good idea.

It's easy to see the "thirty songs" and think we're talking about
thirty
units. What's actually in play is making thirty songs available for
others to download by the millions.

Theft by any other name is still theft.


Privilege by any other name is still privilege.

Sorry, I don't understand your statement.



I am sure you don't!

OK.....?


Honestly, I did not understand it either !

Cool insult though, huh?



Nah, wasn't an insult. I've just noticed that people who derive
income from the arts tend to have certain biases. No offense
intended. if it was my rice bowl, I might be the same way.
