Interesting article on MP3 sharing, RIAA, etc.
Pissed_Macman:
I read the article thoroughly. Now I feel the urge to download illegal MP3s.

Appaently some DVDs wont even play if you have a tv out cable plugged into your graphics card... And some dumbarse has designed a new "disposable" dvd that reacts with oxygen and becomes unreadable after a week. Theres enough landfill already you dumb fuck, why would you do that?

That's a paradoxical statement. You don't support the right to copy ("piracy" as you call it) but you somehow serious about "consumer rights"? No you're not - you're serious about publishers' rights.

Ooh it's illegal... I'm going to do it too so I can be a bad boy. You better watch yourself guys :D :D :D
edit: although strangely enough the last time I told a girl that I downloaded illegal mp3s and that I was a bad boy she threw her bourbon and coke in my face. :(

He does not endorse the wrong act of distributing music without the author's permission, yet he is serious about what he should be allowed to do with his music (ie. playing his CD anywhere he wants). How is that paradoxical?
