Douglas Adams was one of the greatest authors of all time, but I always though it would have been funnier if he jumped on the 27 bandwagon. It seems whenever I hear someone quote a "random number" from off the top of their head, it's always 27. With me, as well. So, one day I surfed the web to find the 27 conspiracy: http://www.lbstone.com/27/. I was not alone! Other people had noticed the same thing.
This case serves no purpose, but to have the RIAA, going forward, serve sopoenas correctly (i.e. through a court). This case is not about sharing MP3's, although her lawyers seem to be about as off-base as the RIAA. Not much will come of this, except maybe some firmer stances on what Verizon and other ISP's are required to do in situations such as these. To my knowledge, that portion of the argument has already been upheld by a court, though. So much of this moot and dead in the water. Apparently, there isn't really a legitimate way of stopping these cowboys. Maybe I should create original material with similar names to popular RIAA artist tracks, offer them on Kazaa with a beowulf cluster and wait for them to download and prosecute me. Then, I could proove their tactics illegal and inaccurate. I dunno, I'll continue to boycott the bad music they sell for $17.99USD, as I am not interested in their digitized poop.
I dunno. If this is as bad as "Regurgitated", er, "Reloaded", then I plan on staying home (or scouring USENET for it, just so I can have factual basis for my hatred). Although, the long haired Smith is pretty sweet looking, but not enough to carry a whole movie. I'd rather see Animatrix 2, KTHXBAI.
