I am happy to see that someone has decided to pay the 2000 $ settlement for file sharing against the 12 year old girl and her mother in public housing. RIAA must be pissed at who ever decided to do that... it has been such bad PR for them, it's not even funny. I think that it great that the P2P community has grabbed this and made it into good PR for themselves. The thing that really surprised me is that it says that she was only sharing 1000 songs, much less than I expected. That worries me 'cause I have many times that amount of music on my computer. Most has been ripped that I have purchased, but some has been, ahh, obtained in other ways. ;-)
Another story that has got me (and I am sure most of the city) pissed is a story about a guy who wanted a bear for a pet, and then kidnapped it from it's mother. He "wore it down" by repeatidly dunking it in water (read: drowning it) till it started to give up. Well, of course the bear was taken away from this nut job, and now released 60 km from where it last saw its mother. Now, most likely it will not surive. Stupid, stupid freaking people. AhhgghH!
Yeah, that pissed me off too (about the bear). Honestly, I'm actually hoping some environmentalist wackos kidnap this guy and put him through a day's worth of 'fun' just like he did to the bear.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing about it was him saying "I'd do it again".
