Man, there is no end to this guys douchebaggery. First he hires someone who wants ISPs to release information without a subpoena, then he hired someone who wanted to uphold a $200k punitive fee for a few mp3s.

Now we get yet another RIAA dick in the Justice Department. Yay for change! I wonder how much the RIAA is paying him under the table?

I would have rathered 4 more years of Iraq with McCain -- at least that didn't affect me in any way possible. This dumbass is going to take everyone's privacy away.

McCain would have been just as bad. The RIAA probably funded both candidates anyways...

I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. "I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs." "I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking." "Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!" "Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control. Here's Love Connection. Watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer, you fucking morons." ~ Bill Hicks

QTF, the RIAA doesn't go after people who don't illegally download mp3's.

Not when RIAA lawyers are on the record as saying that they believe fair use is wrong and ANY and ALL copying for whatever purpose is theft.

Weren't you like a huge Obama supporter before he was elected? I seem to recall some "McSame" comments coming from you. Now you would have rather voted McCain into office? A few months later and now Obama's the debbil?

You could have simply ignored the thread. Anyone could tell from the title where this thread was going, yet you still decided to click on the thread and type up your wannabe mod message. Pathetic.

I'm beginning to regret voting for Obama. McCain would not have been a better choice either. IMHO, Obama is the most dangerous type of president. Obama is the type that has overwhelming support, yet on the backside he is just as corrupt, if not, more so than Bush. The music industry has the right to go after illegal downloaders, but damn it be fair. $200,000 per song is a fucking joke.

Not really -- I was a really huge Hillary supporter. But my Democratic mentality made me believe in Obama. I come from a Republican family too...lol.

He appointed 3 of the 5 there -- all directly connected to the RIAA.
