Do you walk in to a store and complain when you find out that your face has been recorded by a CCTV camera? If they don't have a sign at the door saying they have cameras? Damn right I do, as that would be an illegal practice for the store (in Sweden). Furthermore, they require a permit for the camera(s).
Could be worse, could be the RIAA sued someone dead. Or someone who doesn't have a computer or a Internet connection, or is deaf. Or generally someone they figured was too weak from a debilitating illness to fight back.
It's apparently printed out to PDF from the WSJ website by someone named "randy". It doesn't really look like something they'd get by buying the publication rights from WSJ...
In addition to opening the entire site to all readers, The Times will also make available its archives from 1987 to the present without charge, as well as those from 1851 to 1922, which are in the public domain. There will be charges for some material from the period 1923 to 1986, and some will be free. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/18/business/media/18times.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
NO, it isn't evil because hearing music from outside the stadium is a different experience from actually being in the stadium. So, by your logic, it's OK to share songs over p2p since it's a different experience from actually buying the physical CD. Thanks for clearing that up.
Yeah, but this was about ringtones made by, and distributed by, a RIAA member. I'm sure they'll find a way to only let authorized (paying) parties create ringtones.
Of course, if you had to choose between being locked up with a hungry rat or a hungry tiger, the rat would be the safer option. OTOH, there's much more meat on the tiger.
If light actually falls from below in the image, it looks more like pools of black ink accumulating in the bottom of craters and your circled anomaly looks just like a small protrusion in a crater, rising above the "ink". Makes me wonder what spectrum these images actually were shot in, I'm pretty sure it's not actual colors we're seeing but rather near-IR or something.
it's as stupid as jumping off a cliff just because all the other kids do it too Actually, the other kids should have seen the sane kid standing back and refrained from jumping off that cliff. It's a real uphill battle trying to get them all to climb back up again.

Typical. Late again. :-(
Sheesh. And what should the RIAA take note of, not releasing any more songs to combat piracy? Hey, I'm all for that approach.
Well, "party" can mean many things. Like in "the Donner party", or "the Nazi party".

No, they wouldn't... Would they?

He wrote "NOT" malicious. You got the other list.

No, it's just a different copyright, one that's owned by the RIAA. The RIAA gets the laws that the RIAA pays for.

From looking at the actual e-mail headers, his name is probably misspelled at TPB. It should be Jay Mairs, a very lonely person right now.

Next thing you know, they'll claim submarines made the journey... Hey, what about those newfangled "aeroplanes"?
