LOS ANGELESâ€â€The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. "We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms.

Ok so now we have to rely on tv and radio to learn about new artists. HUMPH.
Nice way to make lots of money for big labels and screw the smaller independants. What a bunch of fucks.

yeah, that's a bunch of bullshit. It's gonna be one of those laws that NO ONE follows, so they end up prosecuting nobody.

Holy GOD!
None of you know what The Onion is?!
It's a joke paper, very popular. It looks like a real paper, but has only fake, really funny articles. You can get it free on street corners in NYC. Gotta pay like 1.25$ at Barns & Nobeles to get it round here.
