EFF Warns Against RIAA Amnesty Program

Insightful? Come on...how about troll
You do realise that the RIAA will win this war, don't you? :-)
So by win do you mean never having a large majority of people listen to any of their prepackaged crap? This time I cant help but feed the troll...I share PLENTY of files online, and the plain fact is all of it is LEGAL. There is not ONE single piece of music I own, or listen to that will support that trade group or their member labels. Sure its a hard line position, but Im thankful that my standard for what is good music has gone up by orders of magnitudes since that time. What am I missing again? when I turned off the crap it was all brittney spears and eminem.
Although your rephrasing another party on their own viewpoints is a little presumptious, its not all that suprising. FACT is, the statement is not to ADMIT to illegally sharing files. Its a strongarm tactic, nothing new. If you are arrested and cave into the threats of cops on the beat and admit to a crime just to get them to leave you alone even though you are innocent, you can still be tried and found guilty based on that confession. The legal ignorance in this country is frightening.
