Oh shit, the RIAA is at it again.

Bad reporting on purpose?

Most likely...more like manipulating the story...those with MP3 players and Ipods should relax a little now...though you never know what the RIAA will try next...

If you think people wreck changing songs on the ipod, I'd hate to see what happens if they tried to change a phono.

CAR TURNTABLE

In a shining example of engineering brilliance, we bring you the automobile record player:

wont matter, cant run with a record player.

So if they manage to outlaw MP3 players, can we sue the RIAA for contributing to the growing obesity epidemic???

Although, if they did try to sue MP3 player manufacturers, they'd be screwed. Microsoft and Apple would just buy the RIAA and call it a day.

So why can't he just rename his shared folder "underage boys pics" or something. That's what I did.

I wouldn't want to put my vinyl up against a bump and a nasty looking needle...

Am I the only one who thinks about whether this guy had share files with others turned on or off? I remember on older versions of Kazaa, you could search other users' files, but if they had sharing turned off, you couldn't download them. How would they be able to tell otherwise?

Horrible...
These guys were probably the kids picked on when they were young...

Edit: O snap! Bad reporting FTL, got this comment from another site with the article...

Is that from this article or is it from one of this guy's previous cases.

If i understand what i think you are saying, you just answered your own question

the actual question here is...why the **** is he still using kazaa?

This comes from an old case. It wasnt originally about this. Did KAzaa turn into a legal site after they lost their case and paid out their money to the RIAA? Like you pay for the service or per download, like napster did.

I don't think so. Everyone switched to Limewire and torrents

I don't think its from a previous case...I couldn't find the original thread, but heres another one:http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/30/059223

Then another article is posted as follows:

With regards to Ripping CDs being "unauthorized": It doesn't mean its illegal, they just have no opinion on it, so long as the user does not use the rips for distribution and only for personal use, they don't really care...

I see what you are saying, however this is not the main arguement. Yes they were in the same folder, but no he was not sharing the files. That was his defense, which is why it would seem the words are twisted to make the RIAA look worse. When really, if thats what happened, it should make them look worse, cuz it would make them guilty of exalty what that first article implies.

I think this guy has a chance to win, the more I think about it. From a non-lawyer point of view.
