RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3
Spad writes "Zeropaid is reporting that as part of its ongoing lawsuit, the RIAA will be seeking the maximum of $150,000 per song for each of the 11 million MP3s downloaded from the Russian AllofMP3.com between June and October last year. This amounts to roughly $1.65 trillion, probably a tad more than AllofMP3 has made in its lifetime. A representative of AllofMP3 stated: 'AllofMP3 understands that several U.S. record label companies filed a lawsuit against Media Services in New York. This suit is unjustified as AllofMP3 does not operate in New York. Certainly the labels are free to file any suit they wish, despite knowing full well that AllofMP3 operates legally in Russia. In the mean time, AllofMP3 plans to continue to operate legally and comply with all Russian laws.'"
I dare you.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Me, I stick to Rhapsody. I don't want to own squat. I have learned that I do not listen to any one song more than 20 times so I mind as well not own it and have an unlimited supply.
May I suggest you find some better music to listen to? If you don't want to hear any one song more than 20 times, you must be listening to some crappy songs.
Try some classic music from the 60s-70s, like Pink Floyd, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, etc. If your music was made in the last 10 years, it's probably shit.
