RIAA cracking down on file swappers

This dosent scare me in the slightest. Even if they do sue someone, what are the chances of it being an average file sharer like me or you? Im going to continue to share files like I always have.

Well, null pretty much said everything that needs to be said except......

Here's the big thing. Null's right but the fact of the matter is. This will scare people. This is probably going to help the RIAA. The people who know how to get files other ways like ICQ and whatnot are going to get them anyway and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop them. There are going to be plenty of morons who just stop because they don't understand that there's no way they can be sued.

From BSNEWS.com:

"Jason1, a frequent forumer at the GameTavern message boards, was arrested yesterday morning for illegal file sharing. He will face up to five years in jail. He was quoted as saying, "It's not my fault! My racist grandparents told me to! I just wanted to fight off the offenders! All hail Hitler!" When questioned by an openly gay reporter he responded by saying, "I hate homos!" he the proceeded to violently kick the reporter in the testicles. He will first have to be deemed sane before he can stand trial."

Oh well.
