- Velnich, on 10/20/2008, -0/+52***** the RIAA.
My dislike knows no censor. - statik99, on 11/03/2009, -0/+49I agree with boot20 and...
When you bend/break the laws, act like a mob and threaten people and their children or bring charges/questionable charges on innocent people like they do or just have a complete lack of understanding for the legal process or common sense in general... who wouldn't want to avoid a trial. - meean, on 10/20/2008, -0/+41$200 per song...
That puts me at $134,800. Nice. - baldgye, on 10/20/2008, -0/+34$200 per song... is there a discount/increase if you have the whole album?
- veezy, on 10/20/2008, -1/+34Why doesn't the RIAA stop spending so much money on friggin lawsuits and put that money towards creating an online solution that the people obviously want.
- pigfister, on 10/20/2008, -2/+25lets 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.
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, CRIA, SOUNDEXCHANGE, BPI, IFPI, Ect:
# Sony BMG Music Entertainment
# Warner Music Group
# Universal Music Group
# EMI
MPAA:
# Sony Pictures
# Warner Bros. (Time Warner)
# Universal Studios (NBC Universal)
# The Walt Disney Company
# 20th Century Fox (News Corporation)
# Paramount Pictures Viacom—(DreamWorks owners since February 2006) - ZombieSociety, on 10/20/2008, -0/+21lulz
The RIAA is such a collective failure. - danthemanhan, on 10/20/2008, -1/+21puts me at 1.7 million. oh, and don't forget movies.
- ZombieSociety, on 10/20/2008, -0/+18Also, that makes entirely too much sense. The RIAA will have none of that.
- silence7, on 10/20/2008, -2/+20They should be forced to figure out if anyone had actually downloaded the songs from her, and if they can only prove that they (RIAA) were able to download from her, then that counts as 1, so she pays the .99 cents each that the RIAA hypothetically would have had to pay if they had to go to iTunes to buy the song. So, $37+/-

# Paramount Pictures Viacom—(DreamWorks owners since February 2006) - honeymustardn, on 10/20/2008, -0/+14So I've caused $200 in damages for not paying around 99 cents? Yes RIAA, you're doing a great job.
- TitaniumLizzard, on 10/20/2008, -0/+12They're still *****.
- neocreo, on 10/20/2008, -0/+11Hey, media companies here is a solution for ya:
STOP whinging about copyrights, persecuting individuals and maximising the profit from a minority of people, and instead make EVERYTHING available across THE WORLD at THE SAME TIME to a DECENT PRICE!
Oh and decent price is NOT same as what you charge now for a DVD. Count DVD - media disc - cover - distribution - advertising = correct price.
Most of the stuff I got is either unreleased in my part of the world, or not functioning due to format restrictions on DVD. - ryanonfire, on 10/20/2008, -1/+12I'm at $800,000. But I have no RIAA where I live :D
- CasperCreepz, on 10/20/2008, -3/+14Because they wouldn't make money doing that?
- bjornski, on 10/20/2008, -0/+10Every Playstation sold and game sold for it help fund RIAA.
- Lazydriver, on 10/20/2008, -0/+7Lawyers make their money off trial cases.
Producers make their money off music.
Lawyers decieve Producers for money.
Profit? - Meocross, on 10/20/2008, -0/+7***** THE MAFIAA
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/20/2008, -0/+7"Innocent" copyright infringement means the RIAA gets NO moola. You know, the very definition of INNOCENT!?
Scumbags... - gbates31, on 10/20/2008, -2/+8I don't know why one single defendant hasn't brought up the fact that the RIAA lacks standing to be a plaintiff. The RIAA isn't the injured party. They have suffered no injury so therefor they cannot file suit.
- blackmesa, on 10/20/2008, -1/+6I love that movie.
- darling, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5"Big Four" RIAA members
* EMI
* Sony BMG Music Entertainment
* Universal Music Group
* Warner Music Group
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RIAA_member_l ... - protogenxl, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5RIAA lawyers Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe are quoted as saying while leaving
"Woop-oop-oop-oop-oop-oop!" - Narcowski, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5Indeed, ***** censorship.
- RealmDown, on 10/20/2008, -2/+6NOTE: The above repost is inaccurate.
blackula01: Reposting an article is nice for those who do not want to click the link, but changing it, even if your changes are funny, is really a terrible disservice. - inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4I am waiting for some young newbie lawyer to figure out that they could win billions in a class action suit against the RIAA!
- TheInformer, on 10/20/2008, -1/+4Why doesn't the RIAA go after DJs who have hoards of MP3s they didn't pay for on their external hard drives?
- mikeabundo, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3By the RIAA's logic, we would all be rich.
- Erectile, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3I think that's only if they find evidence of you actually sharing all those files. I doubt they would be able to go through your hard drive and pick it all out.
They would have to find the evidence, surely. If I have this wrong, by all means tell me. - PopcornDave, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3Correction: Their *lawyers* wouldn't make money doing that.
- smacksaw, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2Of course they do.
- XeroQ, on 10/20/2008, -1/+3*****, that's $2,176,400 for me. I'm SCREWED!
- webweave, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2Because lawyers don't code.
- HonestAbe, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2F*CK BOWDLERISM
- Volatile36, on 10/20/2008, -2/+3Support Ars Technica, go to the site...
- ventralnet, on 10/20/2008, -1/+2I think they do.
- gkiltz, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1The RIAA is FINALLY figuring out that court is always a gamble!
This reality check has been bouncing up to now! - leerayIG88, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Dugg for Dawn of the Dead article picture.
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1*Points at the RIAA and laughs*
- kelstock, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Can't... pay... attention.. due.. to.. "Total Cleanse"... girl.. ahhh.
Edit: Oh no! refreshed and she's gone :( - Dauntless1, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1That's part of what the "Making Available" argument is about. All the RIAA has to do is access her computer remotely, and download a song (or movie, ect.) Because THEY were able to download, they say she was "MAKING AVAILABLE". And that's all they have to do. The Judge will grant a warrant on just that. Then, when they show up with the warrant, the suspects computer is confiscated and searched for any more files that he/she COULD have made available. Then they file for damages based on that number.
- miles32, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1well they can make a little profit you know
- Dauntless1, on 10/22/2008, -0/+1Ars Technica has several stories on just that. It's one of the reasons I can't believe the RIAA has made it this far without a lawsuit. In another Ars story, they recently got a conviction of copyright infringment because the guy wiped his hard drive. Think about that! The RIAA, said, no *****, "Because he wiped his hard drive he must have been infringing because you would only need to reformat a drive if you were doing something illegal." AND THEY ***** WON!!!! Because they had NO evidence!!!
- spoonchucks, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1RIAA: Because !@$%! YOU, that's why!
I can't think of any reason other than spite. - Technopundit, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1So it's legal to download. Just don't share files. That's no dilemma.
There's no shortage of files to download right from Google.
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(mp3) “Your Band" - Erectile, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1I would love to see some evidence of that. I have always thought they just bust you on what you "made available".
***** the RIAA anyway. - Uiaccsk, on 10/20/2008, -1/+11,978,400...not too shabby
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1Buried for censorship!
