If you can't do the time...then don't do the crime...

Like it's a surprise. How long has the RIAA been talking about this. Sure there are a lot of rich people involved but there is an underlying industry that is suffering. The store clerks, distributors and so on and so on all have regular people like us that they have had to lay off because of the downturn in the business. How about the independant record stores that are closing because of this.

You think you're hurting millionaires??? All that's happening to them is that they are "suffering" with a bank account worth 90 million instead of 100 million. It's the people earning minimum wage that you're putting out of work. You want to raise money for someone...how about those people!!!

I agree 100% that the record companies operate on an outdated business model and they needed to respond to that long ago, but everyone knows that downloading is illegal and that the RIAA has been talking about busting out the lawyers for a long time. Now we're all fucking surprised that they are suing...maybe we should have a telethon for stupidity.
