RIAA Sues More Music Lovers
DominoTree writes "The RIAA, a trade group representing the U.S. music industry has filed a new round of lawsuits against 744 people it alleges used online file-sharing networks to illegally trade in copyrighted songs, it said on Wednesday."
Fair use, and what you do with that media once it is inside your home and in your possession is beyond the law (for now).
Oh, good. Now you song-stealing freaks think you're beyond the law once your front door closes.
Newsflash: you're not beyond the law, you're just not getting caught because the RIAA can't kick your door down and drag your ass into court for a nice, fat, well-deserved lawsuit.
What amazes me is the "swappers" keep giving the RIAA more and more reasons to go more and more draconian on their asses, then they have the nerve to whine about it. If that isn't proof of the childish little minds that try to justify STEALING music because they're cheap little bastards with no concept of "consumer responsibility", I don't know what is.

OK, so you have never in your life borrowed a book from someone? You have never listened to someone else's CD? You have never watched a DVD at someone else's house?
Funny thing... I read, listened, or watched... I did not duplicate.
Your entire last paragraph is the nonsensical raving of a small-minded imp who doesn't understand even the simplest concept of "consumer responsibility". The simple fact that you do not have to purchase anything from them if you do not agree with their policies or pricing precludes you from using any ridiculous argument you have for stealing it. You can take your ridiculous little argument and stuff it up your left nostril. I will not engage morons in debate who cannot understand that they have no need for the product in question and, therefore, have no reason to steal it when they could just as easily send their message by simply not purchasing the product and, therefore, not supporting the company they despise.
Don't like something? Don't buy it. It's not that damn hard you jackasses, stop trying to justify your cheap, childish behavior and just admit you're crooks who want something for nothing.

1. RIAA buys list of submitted IP addresses from EFF since putting your IP into this means that you are worried about getting sued by the RIAA, which most likely means that you have done something its possible to get sued for.
2. RIAA sues all these new IP's
3. Profit!!
I have no sig yet I must scream.
It is simply amazing how unresponsive big corporations are to the needs of their customers. In fact, on any average day, many of them *arrest* their most loyal and frequent customers, simply for engaging in a "try before you buy" program with all kinds of products.
How can they not realize that these so-called "shoplifters", are just a vast pool of new customers??
