RIAA Offers Amnesty to File Sharers
Mister Dre writes "Apparently, the RIAA is planning to offer amnesty to file sharers who promise to delete copyrighted material from their computers. To take advantage, of course, you 'have to send a completed, notarized amnesty form to the RIAA, with a copy of a photo ID.'" Hey RIAA, how about I just stop sharing files, and we call it even? I know I own most of the CDs for the files I listen to, but I stopped buying those too so you'll know where I stand.
could it be that so many people are guilty of it that they have gotten a mob mentality, and show their outrage when they are the only ones that get caught?
Just because you suck dick, and your friends suck dick, that doesn't make sucking dick the right thing to do, dick sucker!
So what you're saying is the American population is a bunch of no-good theives that even the cock-sucking Jews would be ashamed of? Or are you saying that democracy really means 'the right to steal' as long as the guy next to you is doing it and it's not your stuff.
You are an idiot, and deserve not that computer which you type on, nor the oxygen you breathe to keep that twinkie processing plant you call a body in operation.
Do the world a favor and give the ho-ho market a break at the same time by killing yourself, preferably by breaking your neck whilst attempting to suck on your own cock.
Don't you think it's a little arrogant for you to speak for all musicians like that? Why not play it safe and assume that you *shouldn't* download anything except tracks from bands which publicly announce that that's what they want you to do? Because then you couldn't justify piracy on a mass scale?
Musicians need to be able to earn a living just like anyone else. Under your assumption, you are effectively telling all of them that their skills are worthless, because you aren't willing to pay them.

I find your ideas fascinating and woud like to subscribe to your newsletter.
In the meantime, maybe you should start a web site that allows people to discuss things that pertain to technology and society. You know, discussions for dorks; shit that's relevant.
Shame on Google.
