I believe someone took this to the logical conclusion, and applied the dollar value to a single MP3 the RIAA wants to set, and it turned out that illegal downloads cost the music industry more money than has ever existed.

So yeah, the RIAA are a bunch of greedy thieves. Who knew?

Which wouldn't necessarily be a problem if you'd posted the article as well as the link, so that anybody can read your commentary within the proper context. Considering the article makes the point that murder has a lesser penalty than the crime of illegal filesharing, at least in what the RIAA wants.

I think we've been over this prior....

Down Below is for the use of things like Rants thread, and a few other delicate things which should not be where anyone without a Board Account can access.

It is also the place where we FLUSH the garbage of trolls and other undesirables from the fora proper.

Hell, aside from Rant threads, and something personal that you want to remain within the board community itself (and I would question weither you would want to share anything to personal on the board anyway), I shouldn't see any USER CREATED threads show up in here.

Honestly, we have a News and a General Discussion forum for reasons.

Use them.
