RIAA Extends Legal Action

Posted by simoniker on from the hurray-hurrah-hurray dept.

shystershep writes "An article at InfoWorld tells how the RIAA 'is filing 41 new lawsuits and sending 90 lawsuit-notification letters this week, adding to the 341 lawsuits filed and 308 notification letters sent since September. The RIAA has settled with 220 file-sharers as a result of lawsuits, lawsuit-notification letters and subpoenas. In addition, 1,054 users have submitted affidavits as part of the RIAA's amnesty program.' The RIAA also claims that its tactics are actually working -- to increase awareness and reduce online piracy."

    whats also getting out of hand is trollers bitching about security breaches. Hey, if you dont want it to happen, get a firewall, if it didnt happen to you, get a patch, and stop bitching about it. What the fuck is bitching about it going to do? Is there any reason that you posted that comment? Does it contribute to this discussion? Does it do anything to stop Linux security breaches? Does it do anyone any good? NO Fuck off, and get a life

    >>Well he might as well keep her now

    That's what we say. Let them keep their viri to themselves.

    I like the tiger balm idea. Though I was thinking that he should get in on with her sister as payback. :)
