‘It sounds like they’re trying to claim that the music is the same as a physical asset and has some intrinsic value. Pure bull of course, i’m sure your insurance company would laugh if you tried to insure your music collection against loss taking the current price per track as it’s value.

In spite of the fact that with these drm download sites you might have to pay for the tracks all over again if you replaced your pc for whatever reason.’

It sounds like they want it both ways, they want it to be a licensed product but they also want all the protections of a physical asset. it’s greed

how is it you have to delete all music if you go bankrupt?
You already paid for it! They have no right!

We know this is one Attorney General that hasn’t been corrupted by the music cartel. How many other honest (*cough*) Attorney Generals will we see ?

Eliot Spitzer, where are you ?

Sounds like a small claims court case to me. Many jurisdictions allow people to represent themselves in a small claims case.

for real! Clearly, here they are breaking the law. Why let them get away with it? Well, really, if everybody would just stop buying their cd’s, uh, it may speak something to them! Notice, i said may, meaning, maybe, maybe not.

The most pointed, straightforward, hit the nail on the head, bang on, tell it like it is article I have read so far regarding this issue. Congratulations! I hope your article finds it’s way to the halls of justice and isn’t just thrown into the laps of Homeland Security. Good Luck!!

Looks like things are starting to roll.

Sony could be under the gun for $100,000 per infraction in Texas. Wonder how many rootkit-enabled CD’s they sold there?

All I know is that I have been without my computer for a week and it is going to cost me $80 to get the rootkit removed. AND I have no idea which music CD it came from. I got into making “mixed” cd’s for when I am in the car. I bought the CD’s they are for my personal use. This sucks is all I can say.

An investigation by the Department of Injustice is as likely to happen as a cold day in Christian Hell. All three branches of the Federal government have been bought and paid for by the likes of the very industry it is supposed to keep in line. The sooner that people learn that NEITHER the establishment political PARTY (Democrat-Republican) NOR the court system is a friend of the people but rather a STEALTHY ENEMY, the sooner we can turn things around and regain our freedom.

Everyone here who hasn’t done so should visit http://www.fija.org and learn and study about jury nullification. If you are called for jury duty in a criminal or civil case, the judge WILL NOT inform you of your powers, and not only that, he or she will use force if necessary to prevent the defense from telling you about this power. This is because the judge wants as much power as he or she can get. In a jury trial the judge will tell you that you can only use the evidence that was allowe in the court room and that you can only decide on guilt or innocence based on the law that the defendant is accused of breaking. The judge will MAKE NO MENTION about the validity or constitutionality of that law. This is where you have the power to decide if a law is valid. You can vote not guilty REGARDLESS of the judge’s instructions. The Founding Fathers specifically designed the jury system for the PROTECTION of people from bad or unconstitutional laws.

Also, as long as the American people continue to be STUPID enough to vote for a member of the political party in order to keep the candidate of the opposite faction out, we will continue to have a congress that sells our rights to the cartels. The lamescream political PARTY is financed by the cartels. Therefore, we know who its members work for. Learn about the platforms of alternative political parties and vote for the members of these parties with which you agree.

I would not hold your breath on this one.

The United States congress takes kickbacks and bribes from the MPAA and RIAA.

The recent proposals from the director of the Us justice Department to stiffen criminial penalities for copyright infringement is just a diversion from George ” the chimp” bush’s policy failures and his rapidly dropping popularity ratings.

If people think that sony bmg is going to be investigated they would be sadly mistaken.

IT’S JUST A LITTLE FORMALITY THEY CALL CORRUPTION.

Don’t expect any “justice” from the Us Justice Department.
