RIAA Sues Audiogalaxy
Frizzled writes "The RIAA has struck again, this time filing suit against Audiogalaxy's "Satellite" file sharing program. (Nevermind that Satellite is loaded with spy-ware ... good riddance)." News.com has a story. The RIAA's press release links to their complaint.
I submitted this story three weeks ago. Way to drop the ball, editors!
I never had much success with Audiogalaxy. All the songs I've, erm, downloaded for educational purposes in recent days have been from Gnucleus. As poor as the copyright controls were on AG, they were enough to deter a l4m3r like myself.
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
3557KB? That's bigger than my Shakira MP3!
Delete that crap to make room for it, then.

"Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War On Drugs, and now you can't buy drugs anymore?"
Sputnix, and AG client for OS X, is NOT loaded with crappy spyware, you fucknut
it is the best client of its kind for OS X
You shitbag... and NO software for Macs has ever had spyware in it, that is the domain of the MS hell.
You stupid fuck. I said downloading a song you did not pay for is piracy. If you have a copy on one medium and then download it it is still considered fair use. I'm flabbergasted at your display of dumb fuckery with fair use. If you do not own a copy of that song of a medium you paid for and download that song it is not fair fucking use. I don't have to know if you own it or not and neither does the RIAA. Nobody needs to have knowlege that you own the song on some medium, the fact has to exist that you do own that song on some medium. Be careful stepping off the short bus.
