@MikeCampo:I knew it resembled HamsterDance, but I thought it wasn't nearly as bad as HamsterDance. However, some people will conflate the two; therefore I was preparing to get buried after I saw texpundit's message. If I knew at the time was going to get buried, I wouldn't have made the SnoopyDance link.[[cue "The More You Know" outro]]
I really wish I was rich and could buy compact Discs in retail stores, however I am not. In my country 70% of the people won't pay more than $1.0 bux for a CD, that's why in the subways, outside the markets, in the streets, everywhere the people buy mp3 albums for $1 bux. Unfortunately I am not poor and I can afford more than $1 bux for a CD but a shop called Mix Up sells the CD's in $35 bux the double ones, really this pisses me off. If I could only get a single song for 25 cents of dollars that could be the excelent price. But i guess that when piracy increases, the established shops like Mix Up, raise their CD's too. This is unexplainable by the law of the supply and demand of Economics. So I challenge any economiyst expert to explain me this behavior of the price of the CD's. I guess all the RIAA folks are also interested in solving this mistery.
I think it's kind of funny that when it finally comes down to it, and the RIAA is asked for proof... oops. We'll just withdraw that... ahaha. Tough loss, RIAA. Now build your new *cough* crappy *cough* business model and stop suing your customers.
he personally cant be charged for the infraction..... twice.. but cant somebody else who maybe culpable for that specific infraction be charged ...i mean sued.. this is a civil case
I dugg this simply because it said "RIAA loses". OK, people downloading unauthorized copies of things protected under the copyright laws are breaking the law. But some laws are unjust, and the RIAA's tactics have been totally outrageous. As for me, I am 52 and have paid my dues with *decades* of buying crappy LPs and CDs for the one good song on them. Making me pay for a lot of stuff I don't want to get the one thing I do should be illegal.Record moguls should realize that the 80s are gone and will never return.
Technology and times change, just not these laws. There are changes once in a while, but the core of them remain the same. These type of actions only show that they should grow with these changes. It is ridiculous how they try to fight these cases to make their money and keep their customers happy. However, they pretend to be an authority but they're just a company/foundation. On the other hand, if something is against the law - they help enforce it. It's that simple.
Which is just great. It means they can't bring suits like this and then just say "oh well, no harm no foul". They'll have to pay for the suits they bring in the future, if they're not willing to see them through to the end. Note that she hasn't actually been awarded those fees yet (I think), but it's just that she is eligible to receive them.<a class="user" href="http://qqbq.info/sitemap.htm">http://qqbq.info/sitemap.htm</a>
It's also no reason to allow them to change the law to suit their purposes. In fact... it is a reason to change the system and ensure that their wealth is not an issue in deciding the law of the land. It is also far from "treason," what are you, Thomas Jefferson?Not yet. But I'm working on it. >:-D<a class="user" href="http://www.ppef.info">http://www.ppef.info</a>

You can, however, have charges brought up on a new offence, eg. more downloading. Sorry, you lose.
