RIAA Says LimeWire Owes $1.5 Trillion
An anonymous reader writes "LimeWire owes the major record labels one point five trillion dollars, at a conservative estimate. At least, that's what an RIAA lawyer says. He also wants LimeWire shut down and its assets frozen, says Ray Beckerman's Recording Industry vs The People blog."
Wow, and I got first! I win the antigame!
Well duh. BP is a big evil corporation. The pirates are just sticking it to the man! You expected people to argue in favor of equality under the law rather than demonizing those that they dislike? What have you been smoking and why aren't you sharing?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
wow. So some idiots here actually think some bullshit attention-grabbing bollocks posted by newyorkcountylawertroll is actually a reasonable summary of the truth?
when are slashdot kiddies going to see NYCL for who he is? A sad little troll who spews out complete bullshit to draw in pirates witha guilty conscience so he can get ad imrpessions on his butt-ugly useless site.
lawyer my ass. Scamster extroadinaire more likely, and you retards full for it every week.
Musicians are artists. Their work should not be copied and distributed without their consent on a mass scale. Why not, you ask. Because it constitutes as theft, unless declared otherwise by the artist or the music company. So what? This is significant because people who have done so in the past have been made examples by massive lawsuits. There is a gray area between right and wrong but I doubt anyone pirates music because they need it to maintain their physical body.
