http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/19/the-recording-industry-decides-to-stop-suing-its-customers/ Fuck yes! Anyways, I want other peoples opinions on this. Essentially, they are no longer going to go after users, but the ISPs. This could lead to a "Music Tax" (which they have asked for before) on internet connections, etc. Also, how many of the ISPs do you think will actually play ball with the RIAA? I mean, in the past several of them have flat out refused to release customer info without a court order. Unfortunately, I think the RIAA may be able to bully the ISPs just as much, if not more, than they were able to bully people directly. They will be able to launch much larger lawsuits against ISPs than they could against uses, and the ISPs are easier to track down. On the other hand, ISPs have the money to fight the lawsuits. It will just be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Im sure the smart of us never get caught but for the retards...well they get slap with lawsuits like the OP.
You dont even have a clue what you are talking about, so GTFO I never buy CDs. Its pointless. I dont want to pay $8 to the RIAA. Thats about half of the cost of the CD. I support the artists. I do it in ways that actually give the artists money. I go to concerts, I buy merchandise, etc. When you buy your music, you end up getting ripped off anyways, and its not like the artists sees much of that money. Artists typically only get 15% of the profits from the music they sell. Thats like $2/album. I can save that money, see them in concert, and they will get alot more than that.
