EFF Warns Against RIAA Amnesty Program

I'd never give any information to them, or sign their papers. But, then again, I also don't use P2P.
I like how your subject matched the comment. Cleverly done.
*woof* *woof*
It's Timmy? He's down by the river?
*woof* *woof*
He's been captured by Darl McBride and is being forced to drag a completely offtopic SCO bash into an RIAA flamefest?

"prolly" is not a word. The word you are trying to spell is "probably".
Plz fx, kthx bye!
yeah, well speaking out against the US makes you a liberal hero. Speaking out against some third world dictator means is a one-way ticket to a death squad or prison camp if you ever set foot in the country.
This would probably have gotten modded up faster, and thus been more useful - I realize you're not worried about karma as an AC - if you had just had a subject like, "And now, properly formatted..."
In other words, no need for the flamebait, if you don't know the poster is a-
oh wait, I just checked and realized that this guy just opened the account for this comment, so is probably trying to get karma to troll. You are right. I stand corrected. Flame away.
(And mods, those of you not on crack, please don't give the original poster any of your hard-earned points)
Dude, you're suffering from some sort of neo-conservative delusion, brought on by listening too much to great pundits like Ollie and Rush.
Neo-conservatives dislike Amnesty International because those bleeding heart dingbats have in the past dared to criticize the darling little despots who were cooperating with the United States in our endless war against commies, drug lords, terrorists, flavor-of-the-week enemies, whatever. Back when Saddam was our asshole buddy and we were funneling lots of weapons and moolah to him, they had the nerve to claim he was mistreating his people. Now they have to nerve to claim that we're mistreating the Iraqis. Can't those wishy-washy liberals make up their minds?
And how dare they say that we're interfering with the Iraqis' rights to self-determination? Why, those camel jockeys can do anything they want to, except elect an Islamic fundamentalist government that's hostile to the West. Of course, that's what most of them want, which just goes to show you how screwed up those people are.
Seriously, you ought to look into the sort of things Amnesty International actually says. You might not want to take Rush and Ollie's word for it. You may not realize that they were and are strong critics of such communist tyrannies as the Soviet Union and China. You have to ask yourself, what kind of bleeding heart pinko liberal faggots would criticize the wonderful People's Republic?
...We need a category for "No Shit"
