Being Caught With A Compilation Album Will Now Cost You 1.5 Million Dollars

So what are they doing? Pushing the PRO-IP Act through Congress that’ll increase the statutory damages for compilation albums to a whopping $1.5 million. Yes, if you get busted sharing a soundtrack or compilation album with multiple artists on it, the RIAA wants to count each track as its own album. You know, just for the heck of it.

Full Story @ Gizmodo

LOL My ASS OFF.

boy i tell you, things never change. how many Years has the RIAA been trying to be kneeeee deep in tha shit? It’s been nearly a Decade since filesharing has taken off, and they tried going after Napster (Shawn Fanning’s head) which he flipped tha script and got a HUGE money making deal out of.

From the beginning, yes. they would have been able to stop it. But with sites like rapidshare, zshare, filefront, megaupload who are actually allowing people to store such files as rar or zip. Also those sites are public, therefore going to google and Typing in for example ” Jay-Z ‘Aint I’ which just leaked yesterday or tha day before, and get nearly 100,000 results would indicate that maybe GOOGLE should be sonned by the RIAA. Do you honestly believe that at some point, people are going to say ” Oh shit, i dont wanna Send my friend tha new Jay album, I’ll get in trouble “…
yeah riiiight.

Let’s be realistic. First off, with everyone using WiFi now, thats going to make it nearly twice as hard for the RIAA to prosecute people based off of the fact that you cannot track who is who on a Network oppose to a just a plan Local machine.

Just food for thought. Ah well, next post.

My Dick > your soul

Looks like people won’t be getting DETOX off the internet.LMBAO!

But fo real c’mon how the fuck are they gonna trace peoples downloads. Even if they could, that would just fill up courtrooms with half of the people in the country(myself included). If niggas want to prevent downloading, simply make better albums.

The RIAA can suck a dick, the reason being that if they want to be taken serious they should start by taking high profile people to court (those mothaflukkas dowload music too). Shit if they take the president to court i’d be shitting bricks lmao. But of course they arent going to do that, why? they’d get their soul sued off thats why lmao.
