RIAA Sued For Amnesty Offer
wo1verin3 writes "CNET News is reporting that the RIAA is being sued because of 'Clean Slate' filesharing amnesty program that was announced on Monday. 'Clean Slate' allows people to (supposedly) avoid legal action by stepping forward and forfeiting any illegally traded songs. The suit, filed in the Marin Superior Court of California, charges that the RIAA's program is deceptive and fraudulent business practice." The suit claims that the amnesty is "designed to induce members of the general public... to incriminate themselves... while (receiving)... no legally binding release of claims", a statement the EFF also agrees with.
HAHAHAHAHA HAHA HAHAHA.
Damn I think I pissed my pants a little. HAHAHAAHA HA HA HA . Ok, I'm better now.
HAHA HAHA.
Second, At what point in your life were you promised, that just because you made a buck today, that you would make another buck tomorrow doing the same thing?
Huh? I would really like to know. So that way, the rest of us can get in on it.
People like one of my friends who made a nice salary as a DBA of a large bank, but was laid off due to the economy. Or the rest of the IT world that was a major purchaser of your "music" before they all lost their jobs. Or how bout people like my mother that had to work a dead end job for 8 years just to put food on the table for me and my brother and sister.
You are one big Troll and in dire need of someone to bitch-slap your ass.
You indigent little shit.

Not to mention the fact that going after downloaders in general is illegal and even unconstitutional.
Both of these statements are false. The courts have already ruled that a "downloader" is actually a first party to the generation of any electronic copy. It's actionable. And it's hardly "unconstitutional".
