  • vsujohn2, on 03/29/2009, -10/+205***** the RIAA/MPAA.
  • Disgod, on 03/29/2009, -1/+100Several years ago, I was sued by RIAA (technically my roommate, but it was my ass on the line too).They chose the wrong person to sue however, He's a sysadmin for a small ISP, so he told them to ***** off an IP is not a person. Eventually they tried telling him that they had gotten passed the router's firewall to see what was on our computers, so he told them, "Cool sue me, you just said that you illegally hacked my network. I want your name, your bosses name, etc. and I'm going to sue you and report you to the police." At that point they dropped the suit.

    So I think at this point I'd tell them to ***** off as well.
  • rabidDice, on 03/29/2009, -1/+95I would print it off and use it for toilet paper or have the sender charged with harassment.

    I would then switch ISP's. I would lodge a complaint with the privacy commissioner, the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission, and any other watchdog that should be doing their job to stop ISP's from selling out their customers.
  • randomchar, on 03/29/2009, -5/+82Dear RIAA/MPAA:

    As you can see from the poll, majority of users would continue to pirate. Thus, warnings are useless. Go screw yourself.
  • Ismith988, on 03/29/2009, -2/+68You can have all my downloaded music and movies.. when you pry them from my cold dead hands.
  • IKORKYI, on 03/29/2009, -1/+65i would wonder why my neighbors weren't getting the warning, and how they got my address.
  • replaysMike, on 03/29/2009, -5/+66I would paint flames on that *****.

  • PorcusWallabee, on 03/29/2009, -3/+62I would print it off and use it for toilet paper, bloodying my anus and then sue the RIAA/MPAA for falsely advertising toilet paper.
  • macfan93, on 03/29/2009, -1/+48I would KILL IT WITH FIRE!

  • adml_shake, on 03/29/2009, -10/+52Lol, its funny reading all these "tell them to go ***** off" and "Go screw yourself" comments people say they would send back or tell when faced with this. I'd bet some serious cash that most of them would all freak out and stop what they were doing right then.
  • feliks2, on 03/29/2009, -0/+40Or you can just copy them from me, and I'll keep a copy or two hidden away until you go away.
  • Rally603, on 03/29/2009, -0/+33I'm too poor to pay a fine and too fragile to go to prison. :(
  • pradaaddict, on 03/29/2009, -1/+26I would contact my ISP and threaten legal action if they ever provide my private information to the CRIA, RIAA, MPAA or anyone else who wanted it. I'd also file a complaint with the CRTC against the ISP.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -3/+28So you would literally walk to their head offices and ***** them? Interesting plan of attack.
  • nukeleearr, on 03/29/2009, -2/+27I'm Canadian and I get these warnings every week... like they have any jurisdiction to do anything to me. I just ignore 'em... they're just scaretactics
  • RUBallsingMe, on 03/29/2009, -8/+31I guess that is how you would reply if you were fishing for diggs...
  • scoottie, on 03/29/2009, -3/+25Dear RIAA/MPAA,

    Please tell the artists you represent to start making music worth buying.
  • appleofdischord, on 03/29/2009, -2/+23*the majority of users who care enough about piracy to read torrentfreak.
  • Infowarsdotcom, on 03/29/2009, -3/+21The same way I would respond to a four-year-old pretending to be a cop.

    "Haha...you're cute. OK...take me to jail"
  • adml_shake, on 03/29/2009, -0/+17Internet/Networking 101, go sign up for that class where ever it's offered. You seriously need it.
  • pradaaddict, on 03/29/2009, -1/+17the threat of reporting them to the police for allegedly hacking his computer is what scared them off, not his assertion that an IP does not point to a person.
  • catchbigd22, on 03/29/2009, -1/+17Waste of paper. Waste of time. Until the record industry can embrace the transition into digital and drop all this DRM *****, they will continue to waste money on lawyers, the search for pirates and the paper for these warnings.
  • ingled23, on 03/29/2009, -0/+16with a middle finger
  • borez, on 03/29/2009, -3/+18I've had a warning ( through my ISP ) from Warner for downloading the 'Rolling Stones.. Shine a light' film ( Which FTR is a pile of *****. ) and now I must admit, I only download films once they have gone to DVD, or music that's been around for a few months to play it safe. No Screeners, No R5's. No leaked albums, No trouble.
  • kobescoresagain, on 03/29/2009, -2/+16The customer isn't always right, anyone that has worked with customers would know this. So obviously you have no job.
  • DP84, on 03/29/2009, -2/+15I'd mail them a thousand drawings of a spider and call it even for the next couple years.
  • PorcusWallabee, on 03/29/2009, -3/+16Where would society be now if our greatest thinkers had been (royally) penalized every time they quoted someone else's book to prove a point?
    Rhetorical Question. We would be squatting in the gulags.

    <<A free society must limit control of the past>>. The past being music, words, ideas, pictures.
  • brettruffenach, on 03/29/2009, -3/+14I would probably follow what they say, since I don't want to be ***** in the ass by them.

    As much as I hate the RIAA/MPAA, simply refusing for some reason won't deter the fact that you are breaking the law.
    And no, Digg, this isn't about civil liberties, it's about free music and movies.
  • FZero68, on 03/29/2009, -0/+10The CRTC is a ***** joke they only care about Bell's best interest.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -1/+11When my roommate got a letter from Universal Studios, we threw it in the garbage. That was 4 years ago. /response
  • reyoo30309, on 03/29/2009, -2/+11You would bet wrong, at least my case. I would proxy. Sucks that I would have a slower internet connection but what ya gonna do?
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -1/+10I'd say "Bitch please, Get off me."
  • reyoo30309, on 03/30/2009, -1/+9Great, now give yourself a hand.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -0/+7O RLY?
  • Travelsonic, on 03/30/2009, -1/+8Buried for appeal to emotion fallacy, and presenting to support your outlandish argument an incredibly outlandish scenario. Music and movies will always be bought, funded, and created in some way or another.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -0/+7I remember this one time my step sister had someone claim that he paid with a $50 bill, even though he paid with a $10. There were no $50 bills in the till and they showed him the security video's that watch the tills and he STILL argued and claimed he was going to sue McDonalds.
  • Chrysalii, on 03/30/2009, -1/+8The customer isn't always right, and in retail that policy just pisses off the workers.
    Besides the word "customer" implies that someone paid for something, or is intending to.
  • Virgule, on 03/30/2009, -1/+8"they had gotten passed the router's firewall to see what was on our computers"

    a.k.a. electronic trespassing
  • jca488, on 03/29/2009, -1/+8nice!
  • iamnobody8614, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6I'm so not clicking on an url that comes from weirdpornonline.com, vsujohn2.
  • s0nicfreak, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6Yeah because anyone who interacts with a child obviously wants to rape it.
  • _skin_, on 03/30/2009, -0/+6Unsecured wifi network FTMFW!
  • JFitzpatrick, on 03/30/2009, -2/+7I think casual users might freak out and run. More dedicated users will just cloak their activity better.
  • cfuse, on 03/30/2009, -0/+5It would get the message across.
  • mabsark, on 03/30/2009, -0/+5Hi Samuel.
  • cfuse, on 03/30/2009, -0/+5American law firms might like to think that the their country's laws work everywhere, but they don't. I've received several of these toothless notices, and I ignore them. If their first contact with me is a letter of empty threats then I cannot really see what else they expect me to do.
  • Maddoktor2, on 03/29/2009, -4/+9The RIAA would just have to get in line behind all the other creditors due to to having to default on debts thanks to joblessness which in turn is thanks to our "fundamentally strong economy", that's what.
  • BicBall, on 03/29/2009, -2/+6door sign!

  • x2wenty4x, on 03/29/2009, -0/+4I hope you're being sarcastic, if not... wow.
