- phlyngpngn, on 10/12/2007, -29/+105I Don't Think That The English Language Requires You, Or Even Has Provisions For You, To Capitalize Every Word In Your Sentence.
- stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -13/+37I think he was referring to the description. Also the title violates your rules anyway.
- eamon1986, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24It says at the bottom "This article is satire"
- Ender1158, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14It is satire for now...we really need to stop giving them "good" ideas...
- Kappa00, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18"Lawyers for the RIAA maintain that the radio in each car was never meant to be listened to by anyone else except the original owner of the vehicle."
ROFLMAO - gimmeBeer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Love the part about dead corpses can be sued.
- boredzo, on 10/12/2007, -15/+21No, it was modded down because you are wrong. Grammar matters. Lack of grammar suggests a lack of intelligence.
(Yes, I know that English is many people's (n>1)th language. That isn't the case with this description.) - pabster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6While satirical, it certainly isn't as big of a stretch as once thought.
- SuperSloth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This is the Internet. The Internet has two uses:
1. Pointing out the spelling, syntax, and semantics errors in others' writings.
2. Boobies. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Man, this isn't far from the truth
- dopmwd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Nah, it has to be something like "The Top 10 AMAZING new ways the RIAA is trying to screw you!! Apple, Lego, Hack."
You gotta be sure to get all the keywords in there somehow... :) - scotw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"In addition, RIAA lawyers said they were hoping to get a court order to exhume the bodies of Scottish physicist James Clerk-Maxwell, who developed the theory of electromagnetic waves and Guglielmo Marconi, who discovered and harnessed wireless radio in order to sue both corpses for unfair business practices."
LMAO
Brilliant. If there was ever a group who need the p**s taken out of them its the RIAA - mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Wonder if it applies to Satellite Radio.
- swiftly, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7This thread proves that 50% of Digg users don't read the entire (however capitalized) description.
"Trade Group Vows To Go After Passengers Who Illegally Share Soundwaves (satire)... Pretty Funny...." - jj555298, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5At first glance I actually thought this title was real... I wouldn't be surprised honestly, the RIAA can be ridiculous especially with the podcast fiasco.
- CrazyPsychoPeon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's going to get so bad that the RIAA is going to ban music at parties because the music is only intended to be listened by the person who bought it.
- Kwipper, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9Awww so this means I can't go blasting my music from my car stereo anymore? RIAA YOU SUCK!
- gorilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Volume control! Volume control!
- warnipples, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5"No, it was modded down because you are wrong. Grammar matters. Lack of grammar suggests a lack of intelligence."
well excuse me i didn't know that was scientific fact!
what if he is a little un intelligent, is this the place to point it out. I dont think its the proper forum at all. i think its pompus, pretentious and rude! and THAT shows a lack of intelligence! - althe3rduww, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think the RIAA sued me for having ears...
- thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i think it's funny how they reference verizon's idiot ceo with his tiered 'net bs:
"These drivers have been illegally sharing music on their radios and their passengers have been getting a free ride for way too long," - wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The scary thing is soon this might be a reality
- aliguana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4damn right. get all those kids with small cars, big exhausts, and a boot-full of soundsystem and lock them all up. then perhaps I can walk down the street without OOntz OOntz OOntz OOntz... :p
- mrmatchgame, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This article should never have been published. You may give the RIAA some new half baked idea to go after people and sue them for all they got.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Add "RIAA" to your headline for instant front page approval!
- Restrikted, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Guys, it says it at the bottom of the article, "This article is satire," I.E. Poking fun. Read that last paragraph, and you'll definately know it's not real. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they sued EVERYONE in America.
- sjpeck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2satire yes but you never know about the RIAA it may come true
- Leo55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4So...
RIAA basically own any audio input devices/organs known to man? - Heshanh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think. sooo. very soon everyones gona get together and go bash up everyone at riaa.
- sert, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I completely believed it just looking at the headline in the Digg cloud.
- 500freestyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2*known*
- brandizzle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I skip over anything in parentheses. Oddly enough though I'll read it whenever it says something like (read:....)
- matthiasgoodman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You laugh, but it is illegal to play music that is not licensed for public use at any party that can be construed as commercial or business. If you charge for drinks or have everyone chip in they may be able to go after you.
- MrLunar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3They'll have lawyers on the street checking for anyone that has their radio load enough that others can hear it.
Next on the list of RIAA news items: "The RIAA has gone to court insisting that the only way to crack down on illegal soundwave sharing is to have a member of the organisation inside of each and every car ever made at all times to ensure that only the owner of the car may listen to the radio....including the crushed cars." - 500freestyle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yeah... the disturbing thing is that I wouldn't have none it without that. A stand like that is totally in line with the RIAA's recent behavior.
- JimMacFly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah soon they will sue you because you have heard someone's radio by his open window.
Pirate, Hacker, Criminal, having ears is not permitted ! - MrTea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Article aside, how can we get rid of the RIAA?
- Nameless1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Sad.. YET TRUE! :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5This is about.com WHY IS THIS EVEN ON HERE
- DaffyDuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What a killjoy.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you think it is satire or funny.. but once our cars have built in mp3 players with hd's.. you WILL be required to reformat your car before you sell it.
just like selling an old ipod with music is supposidly illegal. - Dietrich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This was freaking awesome. Dugg.
- Invader02, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This just in: The RIAA sued a band for giving out free copies of their autographed album.
:P - lazyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lmao, thought it was real for a sec...
wouldnt put it past them - warnipples, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"This is the Internet. The Internet has two uses:
1. Pointing out the spelling, syntax, and semantics errors in others' writings.
2. Boobies."
LOL!!!!
3. download the themes to your favorite 80s casrtoons "BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL!!" - tavisjohn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Inaccurate!
Do not post fake news ideas... And DO NOT post ANYTHING that MIGHT give the RIAA any IDEAS!!!! ;) - ByteGuerilla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1In further news, RIAA claims ownership of the HypnoToad, and all accompanying glory.
- ScottAG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This needs to be categorized as "Satire". Flagged as inaccurate.
- turpialito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I love grammar flame wars. It just proves we're concerned with improving ours. I assume you people read "SPAMmers really pissed off at bluesecurity, read "their" message board". Another flame war there about spammer's grammar (like the sound of that: "Spammer's Grammar". Anyhow, It all proves diggers are a notch above most!
- TheKnitting, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2this is rediddlyiculous! i guess that the RIAA are going to be issuing free ear plugs to stop you listening to people who listen to their music way too loud on a bus or train.
