I read about it and saw that RIAA is sueing for around $150,000 a downloaded song. That's over ridiculous.

one dallor is over riduculus i mean why in the hell did they make down loaders and shit if when we start to use them they r going to sue us i mean it is so fu*ckin dumb i mean shit like the companies arent rich enough

heres a question why do computers come with cd burners if we cant download

yeah its very stupid. This makes the record companies look so cruel and desperate, i dont even wanna buy cd's anymore cuz of the whole fiasco.

i dont buy cds
why pay 20 bucks if u only want one song on the cd

i havent bought a CD in years lol its all MP3s baby

Bullshit im not buyin a cd for 20 dollars unless they can garentee me that that cd is gunna be good from the first to last song

150,000 a song! geez...thats stupid.

STOP BREAKIN THE LAW AS*HOLE! (from liar liar)

That's the MAXIMUM amount they will do, for the most serious offenders, it is not a general amount.

And it is not as if the music companies made the downloaders...

So...

Does all this apply all the way out here in lil ole NZ ??

No, it is a move by the RIAA, protecting copyright law in America. Expect similar schemes to follow elsewhere soon, though.

it's indeed a ridiculous amount.

Yay, I think there is something like a $2000.00 Fine here.

But all the Departments dedicated to fighting Law Breaking Citizens are more worried about P, Ecstacy, Stuck... All the Drug Trades and Dealers here.

I don't see what's so wrong about downloaded music...I've downloaded tons before on my dads computer.

it should be like a dollar per song.

There is the Imusic or whatever from Apple that is .99 cents per song.

yeah i know, but the penalty of downloading music illegally should be 1 dollar

Oh, I don't think they'd ever go that cheap though.

they should, it would be alot more reasonable.

What's reasonable to us isn't reasonable to the rich music tyrants at the record companies.

Well, there you go, you break copyright law, you run the risk.

obviously, doesnt mean its a good, or fair amount.

Yes, but I like to download songs you can't ever find on a CD or a tape.

Like songs made for the internet or just comdey gags.

those ones are ok because they arent copyrighted.

Actually some are...but they were taken off of web-sites and put onto kazaa.

well record companies dont care about that.

But you could still be sued.

I don't even know how to download a song off the web. All I know how to do is download movie previews to watch once or twice. I'm glad I never down loaded anything illegal. I'm in the clear. But, I think they should only sue for a dollar, that way they might actually see some of the money they deserve. Like, how can they really collect 150,000 per song. Lame.

could be...but wont be.

Backfire won't get sued. Trust me.

He's a cop.

* snorts like a pig *

i am the blockbuster police. you rent a bad movie i come after you with a baton and shotgun. Or for the really bad cases (when people rent queen of the damned *shudders*) i bust out the chainsaw

Crappy movie...

My most hated movie of all time. It depresses me just thinking about it.

And it sucks that it is one of the last things Aaliyah actually did.

Yeah, i guess that was her punisment for doing the movie....Death.

Backfire, don't get mad, but I actually liked queen of the damned. Especially when she was all dancing all sexy and stuff!

I hated it, i was so angry during the movie, i couldnt even sleep. and believe me, i tried

But at least she was hot, right?
