RIAA Extends Legal Action

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."

(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000,000.00 USD}
{ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)

Hello,

We want to transfer to overseas (126,000,000.00 USD) One hundred and Twenty six million United States Dollars from a Bank in Africa.

I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c
can serve to receive this money, as long as you will
remain honest to me till the end of this important
business trusting in you and believing in God that
you will never let me down either now or in future.

I am Mr. Nana Egu the Auditor General of a bank in
Africa, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on
this account again. After going through some old files
in the records, I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [heir] hence the money is
floating and if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner
of this account is Mr. Phillip Morris, a
foreigner, and a sailor. He died since 1993
and no other person knows about this account or any
thing concerning it. The account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that Phillip Morris until his death was the manager
Morris Coy.(pty). SA.

We will start the first transfer with Twenty six
million [26,000,000.00] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount
to your account.

The amount involved is (USD 126M) One hundred and
Twenty Six million United States Dollars, I want
to first transfer $26,000,000.00 [Twenty Six million
United States Dollars] from this money into a safe
foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't
know any foreigner. I am only contacting you as
a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to
a local person here without a valid international
foreign passport, but can only be approved to any
foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c because the money is in US
dollars and the former owner of the a/c, Mr. Phillip Morris was a foreigner
too,
[and the money can only be approved into a foreign a/c].

However, we will sign a binding agreement to bind us
together. I got your contact address from the girl
who operates computer. I am revealing this to you
with belief in God that you will never let me down in
this business. You are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take . Send also your private telephone and
fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
together before transferring the money to any account
of your choice where the fund will be safe. Then,
we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments.

I need your full co-operation to make this work fine
because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you, upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you
are capable and will meet up with instruction of a
key bank official who is deeply involved with me in
this business.

I need your strong assurance that you will never,
never let me down.

With my influence and the positi

What's also getting out of hand...

...is the amount of high-profile Linux security breaches for the year 2003.

GNU, GNOME, Debian, FSF, and now Gentoo. Any more to add to the list before the year is through?

Re:What's also getting out of hand...

[Canadian_Daemon]

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

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. :)
