Re: PFFFT

And coincidentally this is the exact amount RIAA asks for when filing lawsuits. So yes, according to them if it wasn't for the pirates they could buy France right now.

No one wants to buy France

But back on topic - I agree that the amount of money asked for in damages is absurd. But in the end, artists and others need to make money and they certainly aren't making the maximum potential with pirates. Sure it's debated as to how much they should be making off of a sale, but I'm not even going to touch that!

I know the artists need to make money, but should you really use namecalling? I don't know if I would classify the RIAA and the labels as "pirates"

Funny you should mention the artists since they don't receive a dime from these lawsuits
