RIAA opens up a new front in the war on file sharing
The RIAA is making good on its promise to sue people who share files, getting 871 federal subpoenas and going at a rate of getting 75 new subpoenas each day.

They are filing subpoenas against file sharers who have as little as 8 files shared on their systems.

Of course, they still can't release a good album. But, by golly, they will find a way to make money from their business! Why produce a good product that people would buy, and thus the record companies would make profit from, when you can shake people down for their pocket change? It's the American way!

Let me be upfront about this: I personally hope that RIAA-affilated labels of out of business. I'm sick of their whining and bitching and pissing and moaning about how they are losing so much money when they market Britney Spears, Justin Timberfuck, Limp Suckit, Metaliccunt, any "star" from Amercan fuckin Idol, Linkin Suck, Godsmacksuck, Slipsuck, Disturbed(suck), Jessica Whoreson, Christina Hookerlara,etc. If this is the music that you are marketing and are complaining about losing money when people like me don't buy it, you deserve to go out of business. Maybe you are losing money because the country is in a recession, people are out of work and don't have a lot of money to spend, and you're releasing shitty albums by shitty bands usually for $18-20 a pop. Ever factor that into your business equation, you fucking nitwits?

If you are afraid of getting a smack down from the record labels who wouldn't know what good music was if it crawled up their leg and fucked them in the ass, use an anonymous proxy server.
