I'm not worried about the RIAA. Before the client software is even released, there will be hacks or workarounds on the torrents.

As for gun control, I am for it. Here is how it works ...
Pull gun.
Aim with a steady hand.
Pull trigger slowly and purposefully.
Practice often.

You will then have good control over your gun.

:D finally someone who knows one of the "true" definitions of "gun control"

here in SC we call "gun control" hitting what you aim with the first bullet:D

Come to think of it, if they somehow manage to "block" all illegal traffic, people will turn to something else: street piracy! And they're back to square one on their fight against piracy!
Example:
I live in Romania, where piracy is pretty high! It was a lot higher a few years ago when we had people selling pirated software for 5 bucks in the middle of Bucharest. They managed to stop that and in the process the government found out that the "street pirates" had a real industry on their hands and were making millions! Cracking down on the street pirates was a real success for the Romanian government, and brought the piracy rate down a LOT!
Why would RIAA force piracy back in the streets where it's hard to control!?!
Giving it a second thought, it's probably no more than scare-tactics!

Rediculous

This is stupid, I have a way to end all of the piracy issues, this will end it once and for all. The RIAA should legalize file sharing, tax everything that can be used to pirate music, things like internet, blank dvd etc, they should tax it by $4.00, this would end piracy. Their are about 60 million computer users in the u.s. alone so option number 2 would be better. Here's option number 2. The RIAA and the MPAA the game industry and software industry should start up a website allowing users to download whatever they want, i'd say a monthly bill about $100.00 a month with about 60 million computer users that's 7.2 billion dollars in revenue. If you combined both of these options it would eliminate piracy forever.

I'm waiting for the government to plant chips in us at birth to track our every move, action and thought...
*For public safety* :roll:

Then in two years the chips themselves will become illegal because of the threat of using them for p2p :D

1. This is a ridiculous thought and will never happen.

2. The government should fix gas prices more than worry about pirating.. if gas wasn't so high, I wouldn't mind going out on a sunday drive and picking up a few CD's along the way. I would rather have CD's anyway. Much better quality than half the stuff on the net.

I like his idea, i'd download so much music with my chip i'd make the record industry go broke, and hell I'd be able to play it in my head. HA

If you do download music, all i can say is do it at your own risk.

I do remember that link, and in fact if I was stupid enough, i'd download from that site, but no. I've actually reported that site to the RIAA. But it is still up.

In fact I hear the last stand is a music tax for everyone who has the internet. Imagine, being able to download as much as you want for 10.00 bucks a month, and after thinking about it, i really don't endors copyright infringement, that your own damn fault if you download illegal music.

Everybody should download the shit that they want. Fuck the riaa fuck them all. I'm done watching my fellow computer nerds getting bullied for downloading the music they love. Everybody head over to www.torrentz.com and just start downloading all the fucking music you could ever want. By the way, torrentz isn't my site. NO MORE RIAA!!! FUCK THEM ALL

wow i like your wording choice, although im not sure i got your point what did you want to do to the riaa ;)?

also ya i would remove that link pretty quick
