p2pnet.net— A detailed explanation on how exactly one gets sued by the RIAA. Lawyer Ray Beckerman, who's been working with Patti Santangelo in her defense, explains how "justice" is served, RIAA style...

The RIAA will never see another dollar from me. Their music and artists have been PATHETIC for over a decade. I don't listen to a damn thing they produce, not when thousands of people are providing higher quality music online for FREE.
"For those of you shouting "Music should be free!" and "F the RIAA - they're just trying to make rich music execs richer!" - you are stupid, and probably 15 (or just stupid). If I write a song, and record it, and send it to a record label to be published - YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE IT UNLESS YOU P-A-Y FOR IT, dips**ts."BULLs**t. Artists make the vast majority of their money from concerts and always have. That's the way it's always been. If you make an argument for how much money the artists make from sales of their cds, why then you're contending that p2p isn't hurting their income much after all, aren't you?It's stupid and ultra-greedy "artists" like Madonna who are bitching about the loss of a few thousand a year while making millions. As if I should give a crap - newsflash: I couldn't care less whether Madonna loses money. And I know damn good and well she isn't losing much. Same goes for all the manufactured pop stars like her.That's the way it is here on Planet Earth, "dips**t" - we don't care to keep you supplied with money your whole life for recording a song and the only people who do care are absolute s**t like your fellow members of the RIAA. Try working for a living like the rest of us. I will say that for people like Clapton; he still does concerts and organizes events regularly. He earns his money. So do a few others. But when it comes to a multi-millionaires whining about losing a few thousand because of p2p they can all kiss my ass.And here's a side note: I'd feel very differently if the artists were getting ripped off by concert promoters and such. Because then they would be getting cheated out of money they earned, same as somebody's boss screwing over his employees. That's what it takes to make me give a damn; you have to earn the money to start with.
**In fact, artists that *require* a studio (and excessive post-production fine tuning) are the exact no talent hacks currently being protected by the crap system(s) that everyone is so up-in-arms about.Get a few people who can play some instruments with somebody who can sing and I can record it from my computer, run it through Audacity and it'll sound pro-quality**Oh please, you have no idea about recording music, either of you.
Any artist with integrity won't care about money and would therefore give away his songs. As i do and the thousands of other members of www.soundclick.com
