Go ahead, make my day! If you're a Pirate and you think you can win in court, let's see how smart you are when you get whacked $10,000 PER title/copy and a prison sentence. You can talk all the shit you want, but there ain't a court in the World gonna let you steal copyright protected works.
But go ahead, take your case to court and see for yourself - fool! |

1 edit | Taylor, every time one of these topics comes up, you pop in and immediately assume that the person is guilty. I wonder if you've ever considered the notion that the RIAA's data might be wrong and they might be suing an innocent person
It's happened before. They sued a grandmother whose Mac was incapable of running Kazaa, yet they thought that she had downloaded hip-hop music via the service. Eventually, mostly due to public pressure, they dropped the charges, but how many "Mac grandmothers" are there who settled to avoid a costly court battle?
If this woman is guilty, then I'll be right there saying that she should pay up. (Ok, maybe not using your exact verbiage, but agreeing with the general notion that those who pirate copyrighted music should pay.) However, if she's innocent and the RIAA is going after her without cause, then she's entitled to her day in court and I hope she wins.
EDIT: In case you need reminding about the "Mac Grandma" case, here's a link: »www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c···O2D1.DTL
Some quotes of note:
The RIAA said it had gathered evidence showing Ward had used Kazaa to share more than 2,000 songs, including hip-hop hits like Trick Daddy's "I'm a Thug.''
Through Cohn, Ward declined an interview. But Cohn said Ward's home computer runs on Apple's Macintosh operating system, and Kazaa is available only for computers that run on Microsoft's Windows.
Ward and her husband use the computer only for e-mail and to check weather reports, had never downloaded music and did not have children or grandchildren at home who could have been using Kazaa without their knowledge, Cohn said.

Now now. Jason my man. Taylor is just pulling at your flame strings, egging you on for a fight. For all we know Taylor could care less about file traders or the RIAA. He's just getting everybody worked up for thrills. |

USA | I know that. I was trying to counter Taylor's flame bait with a little reason. There's no way that I'm going to get worked up by anything he says. |

You won't go to jail. It is a civil case, not criminal. |
