man, we should organize a protest and show up at the court hearing. This shit is low, see if I ever buy a cd again.

jesus christ, the girl is 12! leave her alone, and take your lawsuits someplace else. on top of this, they are also suing a 70 year old man. his grandchildren probably downloadd some songs into a shared folder, and now grandpa is going to pay. It is getting out of hand. I am all for a boycott & protest. I would like to see the riaa crumble and fall. no more big labels would be nice. more "artists" and less pretty faces would be better.

I'll do a quick look for GPL / Open Music License artists.  So far all I know of is Magic Mushrooms (death metal, they have an (shudder) mp3 on the knoppix iso...) and Twisted Helices.  (Their lead is the guy who wrote the Open Music License.

xyle_one:
There are quite a few "mainstream" bands out there that do not care about people downloading their music. In fact, they put it on their sites. Most artists make their money off of touring anyways.

flap:
To be fair it's no worse than them attacking anyone else. Unjustly suing kids is no worse than unjustly suing adults.
