Im gona vote for my country`s pirate party tomorrow
It is just a P2P program. It's like if Bittorrent got sued.
Of course, so that's where the economy went!
[QUOTE=Perfumly;22466581]Wait limewire doesn't host any illegal files though do they? Isn't it just a p2p program?[/QUOTE]
Try explaining that to the RIAA. You will fail.
They also had the gall to shut down the openbittorrent tracker, which didn't host or transfer any illegal content either. That didn't affect bittorrent piracy or indeed legal sharing one iota either, because everyone had made the transition to DHT and magnet links already.

lets say they do get that 1.5trillion dollars, i bet they wouldn't even spend it wisely.
this is fucking rediculous.
what i want to know is how they justify charging 750$ per song. where are they pulling that number from?
Ares is next :3:
Oh noes 1% of our bands fans arn't buying music so they might be a potential threat to our multi billion doller buisness!!!

They are actively enabling and encouraging piracy which really should be enough under any sensible protection of intellectual property. The Pirate Bay has been hiding under that excuse for way too long.

[QUOTE="From OP You Nutter"]Now it looks as though one Kelly M. Klaus (right) of Munger, Tolles & Olson, yet another RIAA posse, wants Wood to order LimeWire owner Mark Gorton to pay $1,500,000,000,000 for 200,000,000 alleged downloads, at $750 per.[/QUOTE]

They probably take one guy for all the "lost" sales, because they can't take down the other pirates, there are many other ways of getting songs, other than limewire.
What will they do when they don't pay up? Put them in prison?
They don't actually expect him to pay it, now do they?
At 750 a song my ipod is worth $1,338,000 plus whatever the actual iPod is plus all the apps.
brbebay
Why does the RIAA put the value of songs so high?
It's pretty obvious to normal fucking person that ONE SONG is not worth roughly 50 albums.
I swear it seems more and more like the RIAA does this purely for to get more cash.
Oh wait...
[QUOTE=FoxMeister;22466133]People still use LimeWire?[/QUOTE]
People also wonder why their computers are infested with viruses.
Wait. Isn't that $7.5k/song?
[QUOTE=Panda X;22467333]Wait. Isn't that $7.5k/song?[/QUOTE]
Yes it is. :wtc:
Fuck it. All the more reason to pirate I SUPPOSE.
Use eMule and Kazaa instead :downs:
Thanks for clarifying RIAA, I think I'll go sell my music collection on Craig's List for a cool 2 mil now that I know what it's really worth.
And then I'll give it to all the artists being shafted by recording companies who give the artists a fraction of what they themselves make in profit off the artists hard work.

They wanted some guy they sued to pay $22,500 per song. Also where the fuck do they get their download numbers? The facts the RIAA site has are hard to believe.
I dunno about all this. I understand that people wanna protect their shit but saying that you owe over 7g's for a 99 cent song is a bit umm... what's the word... oh yeah FUCKING INSANE!

"So uh...you want to get that song or buy that car you've been looking at for a while?"
That's a shit ton of money. I saw something on the news about the US debt to China or something, that if you lined up our all the money in $1 bills, it would stretch to Jupiter and back. And if you felt like going back to Jupiter, you could with the left over money the US still owe China.
