Interesting....the government will do anything to stop people from downloading. Fortunately, upstanding members of society like myself don't download music.

[Evil Chase K]

Most. Asinine. Thing. Ever.

I say in protest we go into HMV and give them a urine sample

[Guest TheTokenWhiteGuy]

Soon the police will come, *as he is downloading music police helicopter circles house, SWAT members fly in the window*

[Guest elJoJo]

My browser's screwed up and it's not showing me anything, what is it?

[Gene Kiniski]

elJoJo, it's just new technology that will use your finger prints to access your music.

[Bushmeister]

This is fucking ridiculous, that's all I can say. Why don't we just start shitting in a jar every time we want to listen to a song, right? A stool sample should be the ultimate means of identification.

Meatbags.

[Psicosis]

Bwahahahahaha.

Will NEVER happen. NEVER.

And I thought that night-vision equipment in cinemas to find those trying to pirate films was as bad as it got.

The thing I don't understand, is if they're trying to crack down on piracy, why the hell haven't they done anything about, DVD and CD burners? huh? I haven't heard anything about them trying to "crack down" on that, just file-sharing :/

[FunkAsPuck]

Bwahahahahaha.

Hes right you know. This has absolutly no chance of happening. If sueing the living daylights out of people didn't work, then this won't either.

[Lowerdeck]

They'll think they're getting an edge, they'll never completely win.

[Guest TheTokenWhiteGuy]

Couldn't someone sue them for invasion of privacy? IT gets to a certain point were they just need to spend the money on something else.

[Clawson]

This is why I am glad that I'm living in Canada. No RIIA bullshit and our government has no problems with downloading.

[Guest The Real Deal]

It won't happen ~Period~

[public enemy]

Don't you think thats taking things a little too far?

Amen to that brother B) Canada is offically the coolest country to live in right now.

Big Brother is watching...

Fuck that, it's only a matter of time before your social security number is burned into your arm at birth and you have to use for everything except jerking off. They're probably wasting more money on this than file sharing is costing them.

And the reason they don't go after Burning software is because they can't. It's perfectly legal to make copies of anything you own, which is why blank cassettes and VCRs aren't illegal. What is illegal is downloading music for free off the internet. What should be illegal is the shit the RIAA is trying to pass off as music these days.

[gunnar hendershow]

Does listening to music the RIAA doesn't give two shits about (Stuff from other countries) get you in trouble? That's most of what I have.
