  • Shouldn't the RIAA be suing Google?

    It's easy as pie. Hit the right keys and copyrighted material is there for you to grab. Doesn't matter if it's music, movies or games. Obviously they are providing a platform for copright infringement, they are doing nothing about it and its users in fact are violating copyright.

    No, Google has enough money to afford a lawyer.

      Obviously they are providing a platform for copright infringement,
      And cars are a platform for all sorts of crimes. You're on to something completely insane

        You're missing the only relevant criterium. Google has one of the deepest set of pockets.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  A nicely coy and unsubstantiated response

                    Ah, mea culpa. It was the MPAA.

                    There's also the plain thievery of the formerly open source Shareaza.

                    But nice knee-jerk defence.

                      Plain thievery is creating a program that hosts hundreds of thousands of illegal file transfers every day, and doing nothing to stop it.

                      If we lived in the wild west, whiners and petty thieves would simply be dueled or shot, when they could not hide behind scrambled IP addresses and then whine when they get called on their bull ****.

                        I don't know about you, but I tend to hate any form of hypocrisy.

                        If you're going to combat thievery of IP, you yourself had best not be doing the same ****ty thing. Otherwise, you're even scummier than the original pirates you were trying to combat.

                          They shut down an illegal file sharing site, and you are blaming them. Classy

                              Yes, that's not nearly punishment enough. The owners of the site and their families should be sued into soup lines and cardboard boxes.
