Re: Grokster decision will be Usenets downfall said by rlocone:I'd agree with you! Usenet is too old but that's where it's strength is. There infrastructure is been in place. It's not like Kazaa, or other file trading formats. P2P will continue, just evolve. It's a cat and mouse game. Always will be. Have to say it would be nice if someone can counter sue RIAA/MPAA and they lose in court to the common Joe! That would be so awesome! The common Joe can't afford to fight them in court and the uncommomn Joe has probably got his own shady dealings to protect. |

Kokomo, IN | It's like that lady recently that lost to them. Now she has to pay 222K for the rest of her life. That is so wrong! Her paychecks will be garnished for the rest of her life. Her tax returns will be offset. I see it as unfair now she has to live a EVEN poorer life because a company "ENTITY" wants more $$$. Their pockets are already lined for life. You know what the RIAA/MPAA remind me of the Ferengi! They follow the rules of acquisition to the letter! What you mention is so true. I wish that they would just lose so they know it feels. However, with all of their lawyers they have plenty of money to blow. They even have hired company to DoS you! Let some other company try that crap and they won't be getting away with it.

She took the music without paying for it knowing it was wrong. Everything else you say is merely trying to justify being a thief(theft of service).

1 edit | You got a point. She took the risk and gambled and lost. That's what happens when you go to Vega. That's why I don't gamble. As for justify anything. What I do is my own business. If they don't like it they can take a hike! |

Some say "it is a waste of time to polish brass on a sinking ship", but I don't know what day or hour Jesus Christ our Saviour is returning. It could be tonight, tomorrow, a year or two or 50 years from now. |

then in theory the RIAA should get millions from me, for all the music i recorder off the radio back in the day, and then made mix tapes and gave to friends.
give me a break.
just ignore them, they will go away soon. |

Everything else you say is merely trying to justify being a thief(theft of service). Yes, she's an adult. Yes, she acquired and shared music without paying. Yes, it's wrong. Yes, she had no right.
The problem is that the penalty is absolutely ridiculous. $222K is insane. Perhaps we should bring back debtor's prison, the lash, or maybe just extract a pound of flesh from her. Hell, let's hack off her typing fingers and brand her forehead with "THIEF"... that'll teach her.

The jury roasted her because of the hard drive swap. That's what made her look really guilty. |
