“They’ve been going all over the world to ask governments for help. This will force governments to take a second look. ‘What are you kidding, we’re going to give these maniacs information to go sue our citizens’?”

That statement assumes that governments in general have the best interests of the people in mind. Where is this place; I’d like to move there!
The fact is that the RIAA has a cornucopia of cash that they disburse to politicians and judges. When the RIAA shows up to ask governments for help, they don’t arrive hat in hand, they show up at the head of a fleet of Brinks trucks.

” The I-Gens? As in the “me” generation? As in those who don’t care about anything but themselves? ”

No,
As in the ones raised in the internet age, the ones growing up with this technology being ubiquitous, and
understand it. There are those who don’t care about anything or anyone but themselves in all generations,
and sadly those are the ones who usually end up in power. Perhaps it’s a prerequisite.

I-Gens as in Internet Generation.

@Dreddsnik:
You sure the hippies did this? You sure they were simply not hearded up and brainwashed? I don’t believe hippies became “the man” they hated. The non-hippies became “the man” and bullshitted the hippies into believing they had won. Change that occurs slowly is more difficult to notice, especially when you are cheering how you ‘won’ against “The Man.”

The I-Gens? As in the “me” generation? As in those who don’t care about anything but themselves? As in a vast majority of North Americans? “People dying in Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan? But not in my house? Whatever, when are the Lakers playing next? When is the latest Transformers movie coming out? Oh wow, Denny’s has a special, 5x the amount of food my fat ass needs for half the price!”

Sorry to those offended by over generalizations.

Well,

After thinking about that for a bit, I HOPe so.
The hippies of the 60’s ( peace, free love, anti-capitalism, etc .. ) are running things now,
and they are at LEAST worse than the ‘Man’ that they claimed to hate so much.

Once they became ‘The Man’ they changed their tune very quickly.

I sincerlely hope that the I-Gens don’t go the way of the Hippies.

” 12 individual examples of sheeple that DONT read p2pnet, or understand the world they live in. ”

That will change when the kids that were raised on the internet are old enough to take over.

“How did these 12 very ordinary people reckon another very ordinary person, whom they’d decided was a ‘wilful infringer,’ could possibly come up with that kind of money?”

actually, the sad part is that this is a focus group. 12 sheeple that have been misinformed about copyright since they were born. lied to at every turn that copyright is in the ‘artists’ interests. bamboozled into believing that infringement is illegal, and equivelant to felony theft. and brainwashed by the lanescream media PR campaign to legitimize their extortion and draconian over-lording of content distribution.

12 individual examples of sheeple that DONT read p2pnet, or understand the world they live in.

@RW:
“No DVD, No Theatre, and no TV” I think you mean no **AA supported DVD/Theatre/TV/Music.

There are plenty of independent videos, performances, music, movies, etc… that are worth supporting.

Though I was shocked to see RIAA-safe Aimee Mann’s new album for $20 on SuperEgo Records at HMV in Toronto. I would have expected it to be $10 – $15, not $18/19.99.

There are plenty others that are more affordable, even on iTunes.

The fact is that a judgement of 2 million against her guaranty that she will go BK chapter 7 and that the entertainment parasites will get zip.

With a lower sentence such as 18k she might have been tempted to try to pay although I would personally not even pay 1$ even if I have to BK chapter 7 to get my way at the end!

Even IF the MAFIAASS ever get to collect on this “award”, I can about promise you that
the artists that they claim to be doing this for wont get a bloody red cent of it. They
arent interested in anything other than lining their own pockets with cash, while screwing every
artist and music fan in the world, so………. “public relations fiasco”?? DAMN RIGHT!!
Its kinda funny, the Mafiaass have not only climbed into the coffin under their own power,
they are hammering the nails into the lid too!! Way to go, RIAA!!

“How did these 12 very ordinary people reckon another very ordinary person, whom they’d decided was a ‘wilful infringer,’ could possibly come up with that kind of money?”

Simple. They were brided! Deu!

Why do you think they reached a verdict so quickly? Then they left just as quickly and secretly because they knew that what they did was wrong! So did the judge!

With enought money you can always find someone to corrupt!

Hopefully the entertainment cartel will soon run out of business just like el Quada but we have to boycott the movies as well since the 4 majors corporations of parasites are still getting funded by this.

We have to establish a total boycott of the movies as well: No DVD, No Theater and no TV!
