Millions Delete ALL Music Files?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-does-this-mean dept.

Honig the Apothecary writes "CNN is reporting that millions of people have deleted all the music files from their computers in a story here. My question is how the hell would they know? Are they substituting "deleted" for the words "disabled sharing with other users"?"

    dude, 1 oz is a lot...especially the shit i'm smoking.

    $315-$350?

    I'm smoking the good shit, too. But haven't bought an ounce since I quit selling. Its best to have less than 20 grams because greater than 20 grams is usually a higher criminal penalty than under 20 grams (in most U.S. states).

    1/2 oz = 14 grams
    1 oz = 28 grams

    The law does not distinguish between quality, so its best to buy a half ounce of the good shit for $165-175 if you can get that price. That much would last me 3-4 months with my current consumption rate.
