- dkrender, on 08/08/2009, -0/+23GGF is going to become bankrupt within months. Who the hell thinks that loyal Pirate Bay users are going to start paying for torrents??
And what are the chances that people will want to demolish the new site with fake and virus-laden torrents to futher invalidate the site? - OverZealousHobo, on 08/08/2009, -2/+19dude, phonographic...

lets not for get who is actually behind the MPAA - RIAA, these are the companies that need to be targeted and boycotted into changing their ways, purchase only 2nd hand media and do not purchase anything branded sony, why allow the fecktards to dictate hardware DRM anymore.
Name and shame the companies as all the **AA trade group name is for is to protect the ***** capitalist corporate globalist wankers from bad press.

RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio
http://slashdot.org/articles/07/04/29/0335224.shtm ...
"With the furor over the impending rate hike for Internet radio stations, wouldn't a good solution be for streaming internet stations to simply not play RIAA-affiliated labels' music and focus on independent artists? Sounds good, except that the RIAA's affiliate organization SoundExchange claims it has the right to collect royalties for any artist, no matter if they have signed with an RIAA label or not. 'SoundExchange (the RIAA) considers any digital performance of a song as falling under their compulsory license. If any artist records a song, SoundExchange has the right to collect royalties for its performance on Internet radio. Artists can offer to download their music for free, but they cannot offer their songs to Internet radio for free ... So how it works is that SoundExchange collects money through compulsory royalties from Webcasters and holds onto the money. If a label or artist wants their share of the money, they must become a member of SoundExchange and pay a fee to collect their royalties.'"

He's probably not here because his WOW gold farming / multiboxing is taking too much time today.
- PeppermintPig, on 08/08/2009, -0/+7EDIT: Oh, you deleted your comment??
The song is Kilgary Mountain, which is a variation of Whiskey in the Jar. It's changed almost as many times as it's been sung, and it's been around long before Thin Lizzy (great a band as they are) did it.
Same goes for Metallica doing Whiskey in the Jar, and I've seen idiots say 'hey, isn't this that Metallica Song?'. LOL
Whack fol is lyrical filler, and there are different audible interpretations penned to paper. That's to say there's no wrong way about it in that part of the song. - iPwnN00bs, on 08/08/2009, -0/+5Dugg for SP reference :)

They should not get one red cent. - habbofresh, on 08/08/2009, -1/+4what took you so long?
- l800LEMMINGS, on 08/08/2009, -3/+6no one was gonna pay for torrents, it was supposed to be paid for by advertisement space
also seeders would get portions of the ad revenue by continuing to seed
also record companies would get paid by ad revenue
also it was gonna pay off isp's to handle the load
while it works in theory, they are relying on too many variables to just fall in place - Stoyanov, on 08/08/2009, -1/+4Next: phornography aka. audio porn.

- pigfister, on 08/08/2009, -1/+4The IFPI is the same fecktards as the RIAA, its the same 4 companies behind all the trade body groups:
RIAA, CRIA, SOUNDEXCHANGE, BPI, IFPI, Ect, Ect, Ect:
# Sony BMG Music Entertainment
# Warner Music Group
# Universal Music Group
# EMI - inactive, on 08/08/2009, -0/+3YOU ARE A PIRATE
- buddamus, on 08/08/2009, -3/+6DO WHAT YOU WANT AS A PIRATE IS FREE!!!!!!!!!!

- Xeku, on 08/08/2009, -0/+3hurrrrr give me money
- PopcornDave, on 08/08/2009, -0/+2I suggest we give them monopoly money since they're a monopoly they should be paid in their own currency.

- SpectralGhost, on 08/08/2009, -8/+9Even the porn industry is getting greedy!
- abhidjn, on 08/08/2009, -7/+8So IFPI is following RIAA!!! All the torrent site rocks and all the institutions like RIAA, IFPI sucks
- twiztidsinz, on 08/08/2009, -1/+2Isn't it:
"As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver," - icegoddess13, on 08/08/2009, -3/+4Easy solution if TPB charges: Go to Demonoid. I would rather get my torrents from TPB, but the whole point is to not pay. At all. For anything. Also, the obligatory "***** the RIAA!"
- thomsamuels, on 08/08/2009, -4/+4***** STUPID ***** BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!

- inactive, on 08/08/2009, -4/+1lol ur name is pigfister
- elenaadamscom, on 08/08/2009, -10/+6Alright, I'm going to explain something, so pay attention.
The phrase, "begs the question" should NEVER be followed by a question.
"Begs the question" is a philosophical term that refers to a kind of circular argument. For instance, saying "God exists because the Bible says so", begs the question since the answer ("the Bible says so") assumes the question ("God exists") without an independent source.
Need alternative phrases? Try "demands the question" or "forces us to ask".
Now, go do 100 lines. I'll wait. - inactive, on 08/08/2009, -5/+1Yoou mean the people like you who feel ENTITLED to own everything that you want without paying for it?
- inactive, on 08/08/2009, -6/+0At last you ADMIT that you are a cheap piece of crap. Most people on Digg try to justify it, and claim that if only some site would give a reasonable payment system they would do it.
