/not obligatory... seriously, ***** them. - jab9990, on 04/30/2008, -0/+72The retarded adventures of the RIAA just get better and better. After unsuccessfully suing a homeless guy you'd think somebody would stop funding this stupidity.
- sdrawkcabton88, on 04/30/2008, -1/+61I'm gonna copy that PDF and share it with all my friends.
- ShempRider, on 04/30/2008, -1/+50"Merely making an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work available to the public does not violate a copyright holder's exclusive right of distribution."
- bigbadgoat, on 04/30/2008, -0/+40I heard Rick Astley's just got hired as an RIAA consultant.
So, in that case... "never". - thinman1189, on 04/30/2008, -0/+29This is good news for the defendants and the others being victimized by the RIAA/MPAA and friends. However, I thought the exact same argument has been fine for other courts? I hope that stops with this, and that this isn't overturned later.
Good luck to the defendants, fight the good fight! - pigfister, on 04/30/2008, -1/+29The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX. - samurailynn, on 04/30/2008, -0/+25So, would this mean that it is illegal for stores to make CD's "available" to be stolen? If the store sets it out on display without being under a lock, that is illegal. Or, even worse, when stores have those sales where they set tables up out front, that always seems like they're just asking for stuff to be stolen.
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -3/+27What if everyone seeded and no one leeched....hmmm.....
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -2/+25You Hardy Boys and your Clues...
- pigfister, on 04/30/2008, -2/+23Fuk the RIAA MPAA but what companies hide behind these labels? Name and shame them ppl don't say RIAA say:
The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX. - inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+18Kick back watch it crumble.
- Jonjonr6, on 04/30/2008, -0/+18The biggest problem I see with your arguements is that people have legitimate uses for P2P software. But while installing the software, many automatically search for your files and share them for you. If you don't really understand that this is going on, you might end up getting sued without ever intentionally sharing anything.
It boils down to this, they could argue that leaving CDs in your car, and not locking your doors counts as "making available". - Ratteler, on 04/30/2008, -1/+18Good. I wasn't planning on accepting their surrender anyway.
- Terasiel, on 04/30/2008, -0/+16Oh look, it seems good won over evil once again. Thank you Judge Neil, you are a hero for a day.
- alex1015, on 04/30/2008, -0/+15A victory for sanity
- Yond, on 04/30/2008, -0/+14I am so glad that the RIAA is on their ultimately self-destructive quest, as it will give more power to artists and technology, as well as music fans, and independent artists. Honestly as a businessman why would you ever want to antagonize people that like your music, and make yourself the enemy of an entire generation of people? Good business is when you change or invent new business models to go with the tech tide, and figure out new ways to make money from the new environment. If not they will be slaves to Apple.
- Ganja420, on 04/30/2008, -1/+13Yarrr... ***** the scalliwags
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -4/+16RIAA is too stubbon they won't giveup.
- iidestined, on 04/30/2008, -0/+12When are they going to give up?
- SeriousMite, on 04/30/2008, -2/+14Many filesharing programs will automatically share folders, and if you don't know what you're doing it can be pretty easy to end up sharing stuff you don't mean to.
- yodaj007, on 04/30/2008, -0/+12Why is he an *****? And why does it matter who he is? I think you need to stop trolling here and get a life.
- tlarkin, on 04/30/2008, -0/+10Know your enemy
http://consumerist.com/consumer/riaa/faces-of-the- ... - jordanmac, on 04/30/2008, -0/+9was that the moral? or was it that you can make those files available without breaking any laws, "attempted distribution", so it doesn't matter if you share?
- doyoumrjones, on 04/30/2008, -0/+9Businessmen controlling a creative industry. All of these companies will be obsolete in a few years and they know it.
- shoc, on 04/30/2008, -0/+9***** off spammer
- eviltandem, on 04/30/2008, -3/+12This tickled me.
You're honor, she wasn't wearing a steel, pad-locked, chastity belt. I had clear reason to believe she was "making available" her vagina. I propose one cannot perform "rape". If the girl has not taken adequate measures to protect herself than it is clearly mine to take.
I love lawyers. Logic ftl... - coyote1284, on 04/30/2008, -1/+9OH *****, IT'S A BOMB!
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+8What the ***** are you on about?
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -1/+9You guys (U.S.) need a supreme court decision on this for it to end. In the US supreme court decisions are like the law, because no matter how many trials you do, the supreme court has ruled and it's the highest court, so appeals basically become useless.
But this judge makes a very strong case because of the reverse situation: if I leave my bike unlocked outside at night, I'm not at fault if it gets stolen. I didn't help myself, but it's not my fault if someone else lacks integrity and takes what isn't theirs.
The same way, you could be a store owner and have something that's illegal to sell but not illegal to posess and advertise it for sale. But as long as you didn't sell it, you didn't commit a crime.
Except it doesn't affect the actual taking of the files. The crime is to download, but making available for download is not a crime. - SpaceRibs, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7Ah, I love the smell of victory in the morning.
(not that we've won anything yet) - badenglishihave, on 04/30/2008, -2/+9Epic fail.
- lordzelo, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6I have a vision of the future where we all laugh at the RIAA as it is desolved because they have nothing left because all the artists will realize they can make more money by NOT going with the RIAA. O happy day.
- Rakoth, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6Take it easy, Lennon.
- metaliq, on 04/30/2008, -1/+7So PS3 owners are supporting...
Just sayin. Do you know who you support when you purchase sushi? There's about an 80% monopoly on it. By this guy and his empire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Myung_Moon - inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6RIAA the *****!
- BoneheadFarker, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6The real abusers? You mean themselves?
- wingo123, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6Wow. The 'It's not me, the computer did it' argument is actually working?? Genius!! This guy deserves a medal. No representation either.
People have had teams of lawyers trying to fight this crap, and no one ever tried that angle. This is awesome. - Derfy, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6I'm embarrassed to live as close to Boston as I do.
- tandy400, on 04/30/2008, -0/+5They get more and more despicable by the day. Next thing you know they'll be throwing babies in mud puddles and curb stomping old ladies.
- sremick, on 04/30/2008, -0/+5When they run out of money.
"When are they going to run out of money?"
When you stop buying their stuff. - breezytrees, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4I've got such a raging clue right now
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4fsck you!
fsck=file system consistency check - cnot3, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Reminds me of the RIAA guy from the South Park episode Chef Aid, "I AM ABOVE THE LAW!"
- awesometastic1, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4someone really just needs to sue the U.S. government on behalf of the RIAA for the government making copies of peoples hard-drives at the border (at times with music on it, thus making illegal copies of songs). This way the courts will actually rule correctly to ***** THE RIAA.
- YoshinoAiki, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5He should have said the software, not the computer. The computer is just following instructions, it doesn't make choices to share things or not.
- jxfallout, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5...so does that mean that the RIAA supports Hillary Clinton?
- valkyries, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5why cant people just say ***** and not screw up the spelling to "hide" what they are trying to say.
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5suhweet, I've always wanted a short funky hairstyle.
