Slashdot Mirror
RIAA Attacks Sites Participating in Its Own Campaign
An anonymous reader writes "The RIAA is once again at their old tricks. The band Nine Inch Nails has intentionally 'leaked' songs via USB keys hidden at restrooms during their current European tour. Sites hosting the songs are now being sent cease and desist orders. 'Ironically, with its numerous pirated downloads available, the whole album has not leaked yet. According to a source, the only leaks are the ones Reznor approved himself. And whether he realizes it or not, Reznor may be building a new option for presenting music that augments the existing CD/tour scenario.'"
Dang, I saw Tool a year ago and all I found on the bathroom floor was vomit.
More importantly - who steals USB drives from bathrooms?
The Southern Baptist Convention has creationism. On Slashdot, we have porn.
There's a special place in Hell for the RIAA. Right next to politicians and people who make reality shows.
Is that anywhere near the special place reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theatre?
All the techniques ever used to make men moral have been themselves thoroughly immoral... (Nietzsche)
"Seriously, USB key, or, really, anything else, who is taking things they find lying around (in bathrooms!) and putting them in their computers?"
;)
As if you wouldn't. You know, deep down, some little voice is in the back of your head saying "There might be something embarrasing for the owner of this key on here..."
