Son of a bitch, now the RICC now is hounding your ass any way they can.
18.99 a CD....you neeed a full time job just to afford being a child.
Apparently they upped it....assholes.
250,000 a single file, and 5 years in prison. That means, per file, they will be locking away thousands of people for +90 years...
Fuck the Corporation, fuck Omni.

I take it this is a national US law?
Something seems amiss here.

Wired News wrote:ACCOPS also mandates that file-sharing websites must get consent from consumers to search their computers for content or to store files. In addition, those who provide false information when registering a domain name could also be charged with a federal offense.
Keep the company and any company servers outside the US and watch the US government rage in their impotence

Just don't upload! Be a user not a provider, let the europeans and asians do all the dirty work

Not just that, but about IRAQ Too!
Our soldiers want out.
The Iraqis want us out.
The world wants us out.
Bush, and the leaders who don't have to fret about relatives or anything but stastics and politics....want us to stay.

Be carefull about this talk about Bush, at least ingame, I think he plays AO - at least I heard someone refer to himself as an expert of the game - it might have been him

this bill will get shot down SO hard-core. take note that *no* republicans support the bill. and they hold a majority in the house. also, every single comment i have heard about it goes along the lines of "orwellian" and "draconian". dont expect that one to pass soon. Eventually, the public will figure out that the RIAA is bribin.. er, "donating" to the politicians, and forcing all this legal stuff on us. I never upload any longer, and if they want to sue me for DLing some song that I couldnt find in a record store, they can go right ahead. Its just like I walked into a bar to watch a PPV boxing match... its not my fault if the owner didnt pay for it.

Just remember they are politicians = lying, cheating, stealing whores loyal only to their next campaign contribution.
According to the June 18th, 2003, edition of the Houston Chronicle "donors who raise at least $25,000 will have a photo opportunity with the president, and those who raise $50,000 will be invited to a function at the president's ranch in Crawford."
Cheaper than a trip to the International Space Station and twice the fun I'm sure
