    First he gets sued by the RIAA, then his personal web site gets Slashdotted.

    Daniel Peng, one of the defendants at Princeton, may think that the lawsuit was "settled amicably", but I do not think that this is an "amicable" settlement. In fact, I am outraged. They will pay for what they've done.

    Hey RIAA, if you see a nerd dressed in all black wearing a trenchcoat, ala "the Matrix", coming into your building...DUCK!

      Better yet... don't.


      Please note that I do not promote the killing of anyone. The RIAA is a figurehead, and my comments against it are merely symbolic.

    I can't see this as coming from Rush. There was nothing about Monica or Democrats... :P

    Direct from CNN's bad transcript:

    ANCHOR: Hey, Jesse, why do you think the government came after you?

    JESSE JORDAN, SETTLED LAWSUIT WITH RECORDING INDUSTRY: Well, actually it was the recording industry association.

    Kind of hard to tell these days, isn't it?

  6. Wow! The best part... by ratboy666 · · Score: 5, Funny

    The scariest and best part is when the INTERVIEWER actually confused the RIAA with the Government. That sure gives the RIAA some big clankin' balls.

    Next... RIAA orders bombing of Canada, because its acutally legal to download music here!

    There once was a man from RPI,
    who the RIAA decided to try,
    he was forced to settle,
    but we'll continue to mettle,
    and share musical art till we die.
