    RIAA/MPAA: "You're infringing on copyrights!"

    Kazaa: "No, you are!"

    Sounds like playground banter to me.

    "They're, like, totally eating too much!" one frustrated McDonalds manager said. "If they don't stop eating our Big Macs... they'll, you know, explode!"

    The Fat Customers Association of America (FCAA) could not be reached for comment.

    Does anyone have any idea what part of Sherman's IP was redistributed?

    I think it was the 192.168. part.

    Today the pot and kettle met at a local kitchen. Both attempted to play the race card.

    This is so great. all of the studio execs and movie moguls/ riaa payroll members were so stoked when they got the DMCA passed, little did they know it was going to be the beginning of their downfall.

    The irony of the situation amuses me to no end.
