Been looking on the RIAA's website for someone to write to and tell them what I think of these actions.
This is outright disgusting.
Yeah, that 12 year old was really denting their income. Now given her family's situation, guess who's gonna get jack for christmas?
As a parent of a kid of similar age, this is making me irate. I've already not bought a CD for several years and I'll be damned if I ever do it again. RIAA sponsored ones.. thanks to the people posting links to other bands not part of this company that's abusing their rights to ruin some kid's life.
So, anybody has some email address to write to? And no, Im not in the US so I cant write to my local representative...
Well, well, well.. Unlike many IT companies, we did not start with $100 million in the bank, and in our garage and 28.8k modem, developping our business idea with MySQL was pretty much the only viable solution. Now, a couple of years later (and running Oracle, as well as paying big bucks to them), it really feels like "How the h*ll did I dare develop my platform on MySQL?". Yeah, Oracle costs you big bucks (something in the like of $150 per MHz per processor), but at least you can have a foolproof disaster plan. Sometimes MySQL couldn't even import its own exports...! Oh, and if your reading is too slow from the database, use Java and cache it in Hashtables. It's very easy and it is really fast. Try it! /Smurfen. First post ever:-)
