Re: Still Amazed at the blundering idiots (RIAA/MPA) Oh your right that file trading has been going on for a long time before P2P. I ran a BBS back in the 80's, file trading was just as prevalent then as it is now just it has more media attention now. I remember when Sierra and the like were crying a river saying "with all the software piracy going on we will not be able to stay a competitive company" hmm look at all the software companies around today. If you offer a good product worth buying people will buy it period.
I prefer to buy my software and music now just because I like to have the security of an legal copy when I need to upgrade or what have you, but I CAN NOT stand RIAA or any group that is circumventing the constitution by swaying senators and congressmen who have no idea what they are doing or the impact that they are going to have on our future privacy. If the RIAA's facts are right the music industry should have been bankrupt weeks....no years ago.
It is a sad day in America when we are wasting millions of dollars in court trying to coerce an ISP into releasing the names of it's customers to a PRIVATE organization, what a laugh it would be if this horrible person who it would seem warrants the death penalty or at least exile to a small country where the locals only speak pig Latin and wipe with one hand and eat with the other, turns out to be a 10 year old "pirate".;) |
