Say cheese! by garcia · 2004-03-04 05:34 · Score: 5, Funny

"It's time for Kazaa to stop using delaying tactics and face the music."

Oh please! Enough with the cheesy quotes already! It's almost as bad as the RIAA saying "Oops I did it again" after attempting to sue yet another innocent victim.

  Worst yet are the ones who plead guilty by saying "I'm not that innocent!"

  Instead they act like Micheal Jackson and go after 12 year old boys.

  Believe me, having to face any kind of new music these days is punishment enough...

  based on that comment, here's a Michael Jackson joke I swear I just made up.
  
  Q: How is the RIAA different from Michael Jackson?
  
  A: The RIAA didn't know the boys were 12.

Prediction by Espectr0 · 2004-03-04 05:41 · Score: 3, Funny

I predicted that kazaa would die in 2003, and though it didn't happen, we can be pretty sure that it will sooner or later.

Perhaps we need a legitimate kazaa? An Itunes-alike that not only sells music, but also software?

Sooner or later all file swapping will have to get around this

Now taking bets: RIAA vs. KAZAA! by DR+SoB · 2004-03-04 05:42 · Score: 5, Funny

If the RIAA makes it up to 10 lawsuits against providers of free downloadable music, my bookie is going to be pissed, he gave me 10-1 odds that it won't happen and I put $100 on the line! GO RIAA GO!!! (Yeah I know, that sounds evil, that's why I like it!)

Re:Massive Loss by Turd+Rippleton · 2004-03-04 05:45 · Score: 0, Funny

"And a massive loss for zit-faced Slashdot nerds who want to steal things for free"

rather than stealing for a fee?

I will explain this to you ignorant fools again. Downloading a song is copyright infringement (NOT stealing). Perhaps you need to be a zit-faced Slashdot nerd to tell the difference.

Pepsi are sure some a-holes.

"The music industry are greedy jerks! Buy your songs from iTunes!"

I hope RIAA members come up with an offer of a free six pack of coke for each CD purchased, or something. And air a commercial saying "We aren't going to drink that swill, whether you like it or not!"

What about porn by superpulpsicle · 2004-03-04 06:57 · Score: 4, Funny

I am really tired of people trying to bring down Kazaa P2P since it allows people to download free music.

I have NEVER heard people trying to bring down any P2P due to distributing too much porn.

Why don't people come out of the closet to protect the porn industry.
