Amnesty? Amnesties are pardons, they're not some sort of 'backspace' action for your crimes. What kind of twisted amnesty is this then? Amnestied file sharers should get to keep their files and CD Rs and the RIAA shouldn't make them sign anything.Comment

Umm..the threat's more real than you people think. The FBI raided a house down the street from me just yesterday, but the guy managed to hurl his computer out the window before they got upstairs. Turns out he was arrested for selling recreational drugs of a sort but at least they didn't get him for the .mp3 crap, you know?
sorry, just the idea of the guy tossing his computer out if they were busting him for drugs.
in any case, i have some extremely powerful magnets; all the files i want to keep (documents, pictures, and saved game files) are safe on backup cds.
i can understand why this guy wanted to destroy evidence. this is a war.
one which i doubt the riaa can truly win; even if they did, it would surely be a pyrrhic victory.

Wonder if they would even bother trying to go after classical downloads. I mean, considering how many different recordings there are of every piece of classical music, how could they tell which recording it was?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Uh, so it's "closer than we think" because the FBI made a drug raid on a neighbor of yours? Am I the only one not following the chain of reasoning here?Originally posted by Wiglaf

you know, i'm just waiting for an riaa-sponsored ad that equates filesharing to terrorism, a la the anti-drug ads.B♭3Comment

It's not an amnesty, it's an unconditional surrender. We surrender our CD-Rs and mp3s, and we get...ummm----nothing, other than getting the RIAA's attention towards future "infringements", that's pretty much it.

There was actually a poster which said "When you share files, you're downloading terrorism!"Originally posted by Q Cubed

that doesn't make too much sense.. when you share, you're uploading files, so you'd be uploading terrorism?

You got it!
Now do you understand why sharing files is so evil? You're aiding and abetting Al Queda! Why, those very same files that are uploading from your computer could be going straight to Usamas laptop!Comment

i see. osama's pissed off at us because somebody mislabelled a ludacris you's a ho mp3 as a muslim prayer call!
no wonder!B♭3Comment

If Osama is downloading my Mahler files, I'll be pissed!
On a more serious note, I have considered renaming some of my gay porn videos just to have fun with some unsuspecting folks. Would it be wrong to rename "Bare-Assed Boys in the Barn" to "Left Behind" or "Jesus Saves" or the like?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
