He's obviously saying P2P users should be charging companies for this. It looks like a syntactic error – perhaps attributable to that coffee.

He must've done that to Mr. Lack, but he's still blind as a bat - somehow. LOL. The rapper DMX once said he’d “shove your head up your ass, have you seing shit clearly…”

The watermarked CDs I bought would skip as if they badly damaged. I first thought they were water damaged, as that's what they look like. I returned one of them, to be told that "there was nothing wrong with the CD, it must be your player", even though I had tried 3 different players and all had the problem. Then she admitted that other people have complained about the same problem, but that it's still my fault somehow. Guess who just lost one customer. Not just the store, but the CD industry. In other words I was being punished for BUYING CDs. They were selling faulty goods to people doing the right thing. I'll never buy a waterdamaged CD again. To stop people stealing music, they decide to sell damaged CDs. Way to go Kenobi. Now I only buy independant labels off the net, and even then that's only if I can't find free pirated copies. Oh, and the CD eventually worked.... After I ripped it to my hard drive. WTF??? What happened the much heralded watermarks that were meant to stop copying?

DON'T look at P2P as theft, look at it as WORD OF MOUTH ON STEROIDS! Word of mouth you should be CHARGING FOR! Now, correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't that what the lawsuits are? Big Music charging for this "word of mouth" advertising? And dude, no more coffee for you in the morning! >> But, of course, anybody under the age of twenty five will tell you that burning has been eclipsed by file-trading.
