Few Takers For RIAA's "Clean Slate"

Posted by timothy on from the now-how-much-would-you-pay dept.

gbulmash writes "In the wake of the RIAA's highly-criticized "Clean Slate" program, a recent article about P2P United reveals that the RIAA has only had 838 takers for their file swapping amnesty offer. That's less than 1/1000th of one percent of the estimated number of P2P users worldwide."

    C'mon people, they are trying to run a business here, not deal with cranks.

    I think that this statement comes from the "glass is 99,999/100,000 empty" viewpoint. I'm more of an optimist, and I prefer to look at it as 1e-5 full.

    I refuse to believe there are only 838 stupid people on the internet.

      It's just that all the other ones were too stupid to know what "amnesty" meant.
