He is only 16 and got into a lot of toruble with his last p2p software. well to be honest with you, my father liked the idea of giving my brother (which still lives with him), the opportunity to get some more music, but he does not want him with P2P software on the puter at their house. and since he practically ownes stock in Pepsi, he has collected at least 100 caps so far.

I really wish they'd dump their strange bedfellow over at apple and reintegrate the capability to webcast like they used to. this is your fault for even bothering to redeem a drm’ed song for free..

lol

you should have just downloaded it off the net.. and if you got sued say you were making fair use of your free download to get one without the DRM and the request for a credit card number.

I recently started an itunes account so my brother could redeem his "free songs". The first thing i did was download Moby sampler that was free since it was advertising his new album. I did this to test it out and farmiliarize myself with the system. I then clicked pepsi, redeem free song, put in the code, and it gave me one song credit. I then purchased a song, and it said my card would not be charged. well on my online banking statement, they charged me $1.00. Does anyone know if I missed the disclaimer that they charge $1.00 to "test" the CC#. If not, and i was forced to put CC# on their site in order to redeem "free song", and I got charged anyway, I fully plan on suing them for my $1.00 plus pain and agrivation. lol Anyone?

If the facts are so blantant to us, why are the courts so blind to the facts? Can it all be blamed on corruption (judge buying)? At what point will the courts fight for the common (wo)man? I'm hoping that the Groster case will bring some issues to light. However, whether Groster wins or losses, consumers loose. Good article, but I’ve been reading about it for years.

Since they were sued as "John Doe" until their id could be determined I'm assuming many never were identified. So if all were not id"d and not all of those id'd actually settled, perhaps the sue-em-all stratigy isnt working as well as it appears. Naturally the music guys want the number to appear large, just like the unsubstantiated "loss" file sharing causes. Has anyone ever determined how many of these 10000 people were actually identified?
