"And it created a public-relations disaster for the industry, whose lawsuits targeted, among others, several single mothers, a dead person and a 13-year-old girl"

Re: Music Industry to Abandon Mass Suits
LMFAO.
With the whole isp shit that would be a disaster for ISPs. Especially if the RIAA comes out with which ISPs they are teaming with. Those ISPs will likely lose a lot of customers.

Re: Music Industry to Abandon Mass Suits
Also i remember when the internet was new. I was there, I was the leader in my class for the first elementary on the WWW (5th grade hillside elementary got a certificate to prove it and spoke on newtons apple). When porn was in 256 colors. Internet was always known as an unregulated technology and could never be regulated by government because it spans across country borders. I dont understand how we got to this point where the government is trying to tighen the leash on all of its citizens. Are we Communist china or what? File sharing and downloading of music and movies will never end no matter how much the RIAA and MPAA wants it to.

Sure, now that I don't have my server online, I can't be raped for it. Jerks.

China and japan are home to the selling of pirated and bootleg dvds. but the downloading and torrent sites come from Sweden because they do not have copyright laws prohibiting file sharing.
the China comment was in reference to http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/idblog/...ralization-10/

Re: Music Industry to Abandon Mass Suits
Actually Russia produces a lot of pirated dvd's and stuff. I bought a bunch when I was in China, lol, hardly any of them actually play in a machine. I'd rather pay more for a real, working dvd.

Re: Music Industry to Abandon Mass Suits
Iraq was the same way when I was there, we could buy pirated DVDs for $2 a piece.
