Well, first of all this is a dupe.
Second, the original story made it clear that the RIAA was suing over copyrighted material that the student was in possession of.
I think this guy is fishing for more cash.

Admire that string of X's in the "Legal Requests" column.

As not all of us have time to play games, I was wondering what the fastest 2D card I can buy is. I see that the 3-head Matrox gets good reviews at Ars, but is it sufficiently compatable?
This is right on, though I'm afraid I didn't give it much thought. Sadly, I don't believe those people who would act violently will read the article or this forum. Pushing the entirety of the blame to them is convenient, but useless in this context.
I don't believe that was the original poster's point. An effort must be made to get along with people in life.
Learn to communicate. Talk to people. Understand that you are not the center of the universe, and we all have a lot to learn from one another.
it looks as though this guy is not your average replay tv customer. I mean, he runs a ReplayTV FAQ website, participates in an show sharing website.
I'd say they weren't going after "users".
