RIAA cracks down on filesharing

. Does that take the curse off it?

naive little one.

You'll have to go to great lengths to become a part of this magnificent community.

A moment of seriousness: This is indeed an excellent community. The posts here are intelligent, funny, entertaining. It's no coincidence that people stay at the ACSOT for years.

Believe it or not, we have people here that have posted on this board since January 1970, when this board was launched. Then it was on the networks on the terminals on the old computers, and new posts were delivered by punchcards.

Agree that the current model is dead. However, I have yet to see a working replacement model that actually manages to compensate the artists. In the interim, I'm not convinced that the current "free for all" is justifiable.

Azazel.

Looks like ACSOT is an entity unto itself.

I think Frogger is right, I don't believe it is genuine, but for a different reason. There are several spelling mistakes and such within the email. Official letters like this are run through spell check so the sender doesn't look like an idiot when people find the mistakes.

But yes, the RIAA does send out emails much like this one

Spare some change for a sixty niner down on his luck?

Some clarification if anyone is reading this thread. After asking my sister about it, it turns out she received the letter as a letter, not an email. The email I got was her typing up part of the letter so I could see it. That is why there are a couple spelling errors and what not. Sorry for the confusion. I'll see if I can get her to scan the letter so you can see.
