torrentfreak.com— This is a nice illustration of what a letter from the RIAA would probably look like if you cut out the legal terms and restrictions.

Hmm. A bit disappointing. I was expecting to find a genuine letter from them that actually had the terms and restrictions stripped out, and it just ended up sounding like a bunch of whining instead of a genuine legal threat.
It's funny, but the link is to a blog which copied another site (and didn't even bother to copy the entire letter).<a class="user" href="http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2006/9/20lloyd.html">http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2006/9/20lloyd.html</a>I'm tired of reading a short description, clicking a link to find half an article, and then having to click yet another link (at the bottom of the page) to read the full article from it's original source.Can we get a "This is a Blog" or maybe a "Not the Original Source" item on the Bury menu?

agreed. and the RIAA doesn't own happy birthday. it's like 2 asian guys who bought it for like $7 mil.

Well a chuckle is worth a digg, and everyone hates the RIAA right?

Busting on the RIAA... that gets a digg from me. Always will.

I will never EVER buy any music or movies again. I live in Canada and the Riaa can suck my BC dick

For the record, I don't want anyone to get prosecuted. I love my BitTorrent :)

I can't wait for the Dark Web to complete the RIAA's immolation. Someone get a match.

I may be missing a point or something here.... but isn't whining all the RIAA does?
