RIAA to DoS Pirates?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that-takes-balls dept.

_Chainsaw sent an article running at ZD that talks about the RIAAs latest plan to stop pirates: " We'll smother song swappers " is the quote, but it basically amounts to a Denial of Service. Way to go guys! Brilliant strategy!

    It sickens me to see people refer to listening to stolen music or watching pirated movies as their civil liberties.

    How about you go live in China for a few months, then start talking about civil liberties.

    They can send me threatening letters. I don't like threatening letters because that would also make me think twice before swapping warez or trading songs.

    Ok. Fuck you and quit swapping warez and other people's songs. Oh, I forgot the threat... lessee.. Um, stop it or else I will install win98se on your computer and fill whatever freespace remains, with Hee Haw clips.

    Shut up and sit down. Didn't you hear Ari Fleisher "Be careful what you say"? You are the silly stuffed shirt tory cunt. Bet you just can't wait for Daddy to come get someone who dares speak ill of him.

    Grow a spine and maybe look up to people who are willing to dissent under the most repressive laws since the anti-sedition acts of the 18th century. They have a set of cajones unlike anything you've ever known.

    P.S. for the first "patriotic" idiot to mod me down I could give a damn, I'll still be posting at 2 for the next 10 years
