RIAA Threatens More Music-Lovers

Xenographic writes "According to this article at SFGate, the RIAA has warned 204 more people that they are pursuing legal action against them. After the uproar over the last batch of lawsuits, however, they're not (yet) suing the people in question, but intend to allow them to settle out of court, first."

    204? how did they ever decide THAT was the number they should go after? what a weird number. did they start a clock and say "you have 5 minutes to catch all you can.... GO!"? or did someone sit down and say "boy, we should catch 204 people today"

    Yea, what the fuck does the love of music have anything to do with it? what a completely idiotic phrase that michael the cocksucker used.

    you do the crime, you do the time.

  6. Re:Help out those who have been sued. by Evil+Adrian · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    From the site:

    "Desperate to end filesharing, the major record labels have singled out 261 people and are trying to make examples out of them. Without warning, families and individuals are being slammed with enormous lawsuits that they can't possibly afford to defend themselves against."

    Well, they shouldn't have been pirating music now, should they? It's hard to feel bad for people (let alone want to give them money) when they've been breaking the law, and know they've been breaking the law.

    "We've created this Fund so that everyone who thinks the RIAA lawsuits are callous and unwarranted can donate to support the people who are being sued. Rather than collecting donations centrally like a traditional defense fund, our system lets you give money directly to someone who is being sued. More about the contribution system."

    Callous and unwarranted? Well, call it callous if you want, but you can't dare say unwarranted -- people are pirating RIAA member companies' music, it's clear as crystal.

    As I've said a thousand times, if you don't like RIAA, don't support them, but the moment you start pirating things, you've broken the law, and I don't feel sorry for you.
