If you've been trying to work out how you can tell you're about to be nailed by the RIAA, and you don't want to fork out $.07, look no further.

5. A Tommy Mottola screen saver suddenly pops up on your computer
4. Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer picket your home with signs that read, "Piracy don't pay my bills"

It's pretty sure that something very violent will happen if RIAA tries to steal $150,000 / song from individual internet users.
Maybe just physical attack against headoffices of RIAA..
Bad days are coming.

That's right. If the RIAA tries to sue me, they won't know what hit them. I was thinking, maybe some eggs coupled with some hammers, and what about cds, containing "you won't stop us, tracks?"
Any opinions? Or I could just buy a SPAS shotgun and blow their fucking brains out...

I don't share any music files nor have I ever, but this is just a bunch of horse shit if you ask me. So lets just see how all this turns out in about 2 years. Either the RIAA will be alot bigger or they will be reduce to nothing?? Guess we will have to wait an see.

Well i am a fan of boycott-RIAA.com aswell man, even though im not in america, i hate them! The RIAA actions will backfire!

Futile attempts. Always when you go against the times. They will lose. File sharing is becoming a set standard with the up coming teenagers (12,13,14,15.etc) It's to late.

Peer guardian, if everyone uses that all will be be good :) And when they find a way around that another utility will be invented by some geek that makes me happy :) lol
