RIAA Flexes Its Muscles

If you haven’t already heard, the Recording Industry Association of America is finally showing the music-sharing obsessed nation what it’s made of. It plans on going after the worst offenders first, although the number of files a person needs to be distributing before they are considered to be one of the worst is unknown.

Already, they have nailed a couple offenders, including Daniel Peng, 17, a junior at Princeton University, and Jesse Jordan, another young student. Both have Web pages up to help them raise money to pay for the fees. Dan is getting donations for his $15,000 settlement fee, and Jesse is getting funds to pay for his of $12,000. If you feel bad or, perhaps, guilty, lend them a helping hand (or dollar, in this case).

One Lonely Comment

Good! The record industry should crack down! Listen I download songs to, but I believe it is wrong, and would be happy if the record companies shut down all copyrighted music file sharing for good. It is not fair to the artists, people steal there work, and the artists dont make any money. It really pisses me off when people say they arent stealing, YES YOU ARE! even though you are not taking it away, but rather copying it for your self doesnt matter!! How would you like it if you were an inventor, and you invented something, then people were like “oh thats cool” and then made a copy of it and walked away with it? And even worse!, what if millions of people did that??? Wouldnt you feel depraved, and violated? It is not fair!, And sharing, and copying of Copy Righted songs, software, movies, everything must be stopped!
