17,000 Downloads Does Not Equal 17,000 Lost Sales
Andrew_Rens writes "Ars Technica has a story on a ruling by a US District Judge who rejects claims by the RIAA that the number of infringing downloads amounts to proof of the same number of lost sales. The judge ruled that 'although it is true that someone who copies a digital version of a sound recording has little incentive to purchase the recording through legitimate means, it does not necessarily follow that the downloader would have made a legitimate purchase if the recording had not been available for free.' The ruling concerns the use of the criminal courts to recover alleged losses for downloading through a process known as restitution. The judgement does not directly change how damages are calculated in civil cases."
Kike, kike, weasel-like,
Scheming since a hooknosed tyke,
Counts his pennies day and night,
Squeals if one rolls out of sight,
Promotes a thousand social ills,
For which you'll have to foot the bills
Eventually, in love he falls,
And weds a schrew who swipes his balls,
Soon this pair of whining scum,
Will beat their breasts just like a drum,
And lie about the loved ones lost,
In a myth they call "The Holocaust",
Coarse and pushy, greedy and trite...
Beware the Jewish Parasite!
Coon, coon, black baboon,
Brutal, worthless, thieving goon,
Often high, thrives in jail,
His welfare check is in the mail,
Some 40 offspring had been had,
Not one will ever call him dad,
And yet he hollers day and night:
"I blames de white man fo my plight!
It's him spreads trash all round my shack!
It's him what makes me smoke dis crack!
He push my kind to burn and loot,
And sends de po-lice dat we shoot!
But inch by inch we takin' hold,
Like when de white bread starts to mold,
We'll overrun yo homes and soon-
Dey be only fit fo de blackassed coon!"
