RIAA Sues 12yr Old Girl

When you're a small band publicity is more important than anything. And also when you are a small band you aren't going to sell that many CDs anyway. So I'd rather have people listen to our music however they can, and come out to a show, than for a fewer amount of people to buy a CD. We gave away most of our CDs anyway, so that's really no different than them downloading it on the internet.

[20:24] its techincally impossible for you to be sued for pirating
[20:24] because technically
[20:24] they should NEVER know what you download
[20:24] because it violates your freedom if they look at what your downloading
[20:24] so any information they get that way
[20:24] can't be usedin court either
[20:25] thats a good point! never thought bout that
[20:25] so
[20:25] all those people who are getting sued
[20:25] HAUHAU
[20:25] * Paavo|Fewd is now known as Paavo
[20:25] should technically be sueing the record companies for violating their privacy

[20:26] haha
[20:26] but I'm serious
[20:26] if my ISP gave my download records to someone
[20:26] and then they sued me for downloading music
[20:26] I could sue them and my ISP
[20:26] for violating my freedom to privacy
[20:26] unless they had "reasonable doubt" and a court order (how do they get this "reasonable doubt" *wonders* )
[20:27] how would they know you download music?
[20:27] I see kids on tv all the time in their polls and ****
[20:27] they're like
[20:27] "yeah I download 23481234890 mp3's a month"
[20:27] but they aren't getting sued
[20:28] I think some freedoms have seriously been violated

also LOWER CD PRICES ! THATS WHY PEOPLE STEAL YOUR MUSIC *ahem*

"How can a 14-year-old who has an allowance of $5 a week feel bad about downloading music produced by multimillionaire musicians and greedy record companies,"

because the cd's should only cost 5bux, I don't see any reason why musicians should be millionaires, time for them to live like normal people.

If the recording industry didn't spend close to billions on advertising, they wouldn't worry about having to sell cd's for $20.

If they didn't spend so much money giving **** rappers like Fiddy Cent all this "bling" they wouldn't need to sue anybody.

if they didn't spend so much money sue and doing all the above mentioned things they could sell stuff cheaper too!
