RIAA Hands out more Lawsuits

Syrae writes "The RIAA has unleashed yet another round of copyright infringement lawsuits against 754 people. Evidently they still had some customers that they had to make an example of. I guess the RIAA never saw the study that says that file sharers spent more money buying music online than those who don't share music at all."

I've heard this all before....

In fact, I've been hearing it a lot today...

"Nobody's going to stop me from taking it."

"I can certainly understand it them stealing all of that. It's hard for people to understand unless they've actually lived and been through a situation like that."

"Salvaging no stuff? No, it's not my store, it's everybody's store."

Oh, wait... my bad, those weren't mp3 pirates. Rather, it's those pathetic looters that decided to stay in a town that lies below sea level when a massive hurricane came through.

Great. I was too young to vote when the income tax laws were passed. Do I get out of them?

If you want to look at it another way, just blame your parents. They had you in a country where they knew copyright was rampant. They signed the contract for you. (What kind of sick people would bring a child into a world where you have to pay for somebody's intellectual output?)

In 1850, it would be within my writes to whip my black slave.

Does that make it right?

Saying that because something is legal it is okay is assinine. Morality and legality have little to do with each other. Just ask the Taliban.
