Heres a little something i whipped up today, and i thought id share, since i was hard pressed to find a logo like this at a decent size on the web.

To clarify, this isnt a piracy issue, its a privacy issue.

I disagree here. Save the bandwith man..

Dude...the RIAA has a point. We are stealing. I have mp3's but I buy the music. As a musician, I know what it's like to have one person buy a copy of your CD and burn it for their friends. When someone works hard on music, they deserve just compensation. I think it's theft. I support the bands, but use MP3's to discover new music.

Thay do have a point we are stealing but if they can hack into our computers why can't we get into theirs without having to be sued by them. We do have privacy rights

Im not saying it isnt theft. I see no reason that the musicians shouldnt be paid. They worked hard to produce what is being taken, and i think that they should definately be compensated for their work. I just think that the RIAA is taking this a little too far. First, theyre overcharging for music, that point has been proven by the government. Second, their trying to make it legal for them to hack the individual user, which is justa massive invasion of privacy. Also, theyre starting to sue people who either are customers of their clients or are potential customers of their clients, which is just a bad business move. I just feel that they need to step back and look at the mess theyre making.

They are suing, not hacking. They aren't erasing the contents of your hard drive or anything. Logging your IP address isn't hacking

They're not turning to hacking yet, but they've wanted to.
