Internal MP3 Server? 1 Million Dollars Please

Posted by chrisd on from the these-are-not-the-oggs-you're-looking-for dept.

nkruse pointed out that our pals as the RIAA are breaking new ground. According to this Reuters Article, the RIAA has succeeded in collecting 1 million US dollars from Arizona based Integrated Information Systems. IIS apparently had a corporate MP3 repository on it's network. This is the first time I've heard about the RIAA doing this kind of thing. Looks like they're taking a page from the BSA handbook.

    Blockquoth the poster:

    It seems like a mighty small trickle to me.


    From Merriam-Webster:
    1. a : to issue or fall in drops b : to flow in a thin gentle stream
    2. a : to move or go one by one or little by little b : to dissipate slowly

    So by definition a trickle is small. :)

    Oh yeah, and maybe we could instead teach some horseshit about why abstinence works! And is a good alternative to sex!

    Instead, why don't we simply offer free, confidential birth control to everyone 12 and older? I'm virtually certain this would reduce teen birth far more than any idiot campaign touting abstinence would.

    But then, this is all completely off-topic, in response to a moron's post on condoms.
