When they ask you why you downloaded all that music, say "I was backing up my collection and it was easier than ripping my CDs." When they ask to see your CDs, say they were stolen. How can they argue with that?

That's not a legal application of Fair Use. When making backup copies, the backups must be made from the original legally-owned source.

Assuming you didn't like the deoderant, did you just walk out of the store with it still in your hand?

DON't POST!!

I'm not the one complaining about people being brought to task for breaking the law. If you don't like it, get enough votes and change it or accept the consequences. Don't act like you are MLK engaged in ground breaking acts of civil disobediance.

You were supposed to keep the reciepts, so if you claim that the CD's were stolen they can request to see the reciepts. No original CD's and no proof in the form of reciepts = you are screwed.

No one complains about being caught. They complain about the illegal tactics used by the RIAA. Get with the program.

What illegal tactics?

I don't think they are illegal. If so why isn't anyone suing them? why aren't the feds going after them for thier "illegal" tactics. As far as I know everything they are doing is according to the law.

What he meant to say was "unconstitutional." And for a bill to be declared unconstitutional, it has to be reviewed by the Supreme Court. And they simply haven't gotten to it yet.
