- ALaughingMan, on 07/07/2009, -1/+42It's like ***** police pulling you over for going 3 mph over the speed limit, really guys? How effin bored do you gotta be? I wonder if the RIAA knows they are one of the most hated organizations in the world?
- sgerwel1985, on 07/07/2009, -3/+36Dear RIAA,
I have a feeling my last letter may have been lost in transit or you didn't take it seriously, so i'll restate it. ***** you and all of your *****, we are tired of hearing you whine and cry over stupid *****.
Sincerely
USA - sockpuppets, on 07/07/2009, -1/+34You're out of your ***** mind. Even recording artists blast the RIAA.
- joshdale, on 07/07/2009, -2/+28RIAA must really hate the interwebs
- Sepeteus, on 07/06/2009, -4/+27KHAN!!!
- Ghostalker, on 07/07/2009, -2/+23Sorry RIAA this is America, and as bad as it seems some days, transparent justice is one of the pillars of our justice system.
There's plenty of other countries who'll gladly let you have secret courts and roaming death squads, please go there... soon. - ALaughingMan, on 07/07/2009, -3/+24As BobSagetFan said, "***** THE RIAA". Seriously, they need to get the giant thorn covered tree branch out of their big fat asses.

Please get your ***** right. Copyright infringement is not theft. Let's say that again. Copyright infringement is not theft. Nothing is actually stolen. Copyright infringement is simply the unauthorized DISTRIBUTION of content. This is why these cases are taken to civil court and not criminal court.
The only time it becomes a crime is when you make money from distributing said content. When you sell copies of the stuff you have broken the law and will be taken to criminal court. - borez, on 07/07/2009, -2/+17Torrent them
- CandidateZero, on 07/07/2009, -2/+16As typical and generic as that comment is, I dugg it up 'cause that sentiment is just as relevant as ever, more so now that TPB got jacked. ******* THE RIAA!
But who IS the RIAA, you ask? All of these labels: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RIAA_member_l ...
***** each and every one of those individual record companies. They are collectively the RIAA. ***** them all. - inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+14http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/2008/09/25/t ...

All the recordings etc, enjoy.
***** THE RIAA!!! - mklopez, on 07/07/2009, -3/+15The problem is not with the RIAA clamping down on the "stealing", but in the totally unreasonable fines they seek... thousand of dollars? are you kidding? and how much of that money do you actually plan to give to the artists?
In conclusion, if you could be so kind to F**k the RIAA, it would be appreciated - AmazingA, on 07/07/2009, -0/+12I'd say there's a difference between secretly eavesdropping on individuals and openly recording court proceedings.
- dirtycanucker, on 07/07/2009, -2/+14Dugg down for being obnoxious and posting that long list one at a time causing me to scroll through 10.5 pages to get to the next comments.
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -4/+16***** YOU
- Travelsonic, on 07/07/2009, -0/+11"The fact is that off Digg, people actually like the RIAA"
"That's why they win in court"
[citation required] - smacksaw, on 07/07/2009, -0/+10That's absurd. It's like saying that that the jury likes someone because they have the better lawyer. Think about how many people get let off because they can buy justice. Hey, isn't that the RIAA does?
Your broken logic never ceases to be both stunning it's hypocrisy and simultaneously amusing. You purport that the RIAA succeeds IN SPITE of the judge's instruction to rule based upon law, and that in reality people are deciding based upon their like for them?
In your reality, the RIAA could forego any sort of legal argument and just tell the jury how smart and good-looking they all are.
It's great to have an opinion and ideas about things, but have you ever noticed how yours are always rooted in subjective delusion and a perversion of factual observation? - holyskeleton, on 07/07/2009, -0/+9RIAA is just a identity they use. people need to be more direct, such as ***** Sony, ***** Time Warner and ***** Universal etc.
- Travelsonic, on 07/07/2009, -1/+10rbii,
This is clearly trying to control something that isn't legally theirs. ***** you. - soez, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience. Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense
- Travelsonic, on 07/07/2009, -0/+7rbii, please ***** off.
- Skelly11, on 07/07/2009, -0/+7Dear RIAA
No respect intended, Go ***** Yourselfs
Sincerely

- Kyzzyxx, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6LOL, you are so stupid its funny. Loooong before the web ever even existed people were blasting the RIAA, including me.
- Meocross, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6*****
THE
RIAA
TO
HELL - cshilney, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6rbiii,
i've looked at most of your comments on digg. you're a douchebag to everyone for some reason.
why? what do you get from being like that to people? - insanebrain, on 07/07/2009, -2/+7The interwebs is really hating the RIAA.
- overridemymind, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5"If everybody gets a free copy of a song (for example) from some really unique and fantastic artist..."
Well, your typical pirate will, if given the opportunity, usually go and either buy an exceptional artist's CD (after first deciding that they're exceptional, of course) or go to the artist's concerts.
As well, the radio industry can be used as an analogue of digital distribution -- that is, one group pays for the content, and then redistributes it for free (making their revenue with ads).
Hmm... radio sounds like an analog version of torrents to me -- that is, with torrents, someone pays for content, redistributes it, and the tracker sites (sometimes) make money from selling ad space.....
Now if I wanted to, I could record what I hear on the radio to CD, or tape, or mp3 -- but people still buy the albums and support the artists. Pirates do that too, but RIAA / MPAA propaganda makes all pirates out to be thieves.
/ hope I made sense, I just woke up :) - AndrewDB, on 07/07/2009, -2/+7Didn't they consent to the recordings in the first place?
If they did, they're not illegal. - vtnerd, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5Will Wikileaks host this stuff? If not, make a torrent. Problem solved.
- Travelsonic, on 07/07/2009, -0/+5"And so should any file sharer. "
Even those sharing legal content?
You suck. - BryanG412, on 07/07/2009, -1/+6When will they stop...*****...I wouldn't be surprised if one of those ***** in the RIAA used bittorrent.
- norman619, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4LOL!!! I love how you wear your ignorance like a badge of honor. Admit you are wrong and move on.
- HCProgramr, on 07/07/2009, -3/+7@ALaughingMan: It's not about being bored...it's about either
A) keeping confidential information confidential
or
B) keeping their shenanigans confidential so they can continue to use the courts as the muscle in their protection racket.
"Work with us, Mr. Anderson, and this whole file....goes away." - dalittle, on 07/07/2009, -2/+6Please read Civil Disobedience by Thomas Paine.
- Stingwolf, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4It's not a matter of people liking the RIAA. The reason they had a successful jury trial is because the current state of the -law- is on their side. Now, I have serious doubts about the constitutionality of said law, and the fact that their lobbyists essentially bought the law says even less of its credibility. But, the fact remains; a literal reading of the letter of the law states that grossly inflated statutory damages (thousands of times greater than market value) may be awarded for sharing a few song files on Kazaa.
- jesusfish, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4It's a recording, so naturally they think they own it.
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4"LOVE THE RIAA" and I add to this - HARD IN THE ASS.
- Travelsonic, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4[originality required]
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -2/+6Hey look-Galtshrugged made another user account, this ***** never quits...
- dalittle, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Dang, mixing up the good authors. Thanks for the correction.

FTFA:
The labels, represented by the RIAA, on Monday cited a series of examples in which they accuse Nesson of violating court orders and privacy laws by posting audio to his blog or to the Berkman site. Among them, they include:
- In a 2008 deposition of his client, “a surreptitious recording,” that included “confidential communications between the attorneys involved in the case.”
- A January telephone conversation between the judge and RIAA lawyers “without the prior consent of participants.”
- The July 1 deposition of defense copyright expert John Palfrey, which Nesson was also simultaneously twittering.
- The July 2-3 deposition of defense peer-to-peer expert Johan Pouwelse, which Nesson is accused of videotaping.
Judge Gertner, in February, issued an order in response to RIAA complaints about unauthorized recordings. “The parties are advised that any such recording without permission of participants, as well as the broadcast of such communications, runs afoul” (pdf) of state law. On June 16, Gertner said such taping was a “violation of the law." - smacksaw, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3I'm sure that if the RIAA could get the death penalty for copyright infringement, they'd go Keyser Soze and kill everyone involved. I mean, they ask for tens of thousands of dollars for the "loss" of a few pennies.
RIAA Death Squads. It has a disturbing ring to it.
"We're just trying to teach people a lesson. If you share music, we'll kill you, everyone you care about and everyone they know." - Travelsonic, on 07/08/2009, -0/+3Galt, do you even read the stuff you respond to with your nonsensical garbage? MEthinks not.
- STPZ, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Anyone interested here it is, very good read. But, I have to disagree on the acceptance of punishment Thoreau advocates; one does not have to become a martyr to display ones freedom. Seems contradictory that one should disobey to affect change but then submit to punishment, would it not be more effective personally to continue the fight rather than sacrifice yourself. Replies very much welcome.
Critical Dialogue FTW
http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Thoreau/Civil%20Diso ... - STPZ, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Did the break the law idk, but id rather see justice served than have evidence withheld.
- stubear, on 07/07/2009, -1/+4These are pre-trial meetings and not subject to full disclosure. What Nesson is doing is unethical and could get him into hot water with the court. This guy is as bat-***** crazy as Jack Thompson was, the only difference is he-s fighting on a side you agree with so you don't care if he's unethical.
- grey580, on 07/08/2009, -0/+3BOYCOTT the RIAA and any band that is part of that mafia organization.
Don't buy records and don't go to concerts.
Let everyone know that we are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore. -
