Wired News: Fan to RIAA: It Ain't Me, Babe
"Like others who have been the target of the recording industry's wrath, Plank, his fiancee and their friends and family have pledged not to buy any more CDs"

Not just people who have been the target! Plenty of people like me who are just sick of the RIAA's tactics and shortsightedness are just saying "no" to their wares.

SunnComm won't sue grad student
"I expect I will be well-represented in the case of a lawsuit," the computer science student said Thursday. "If pressing the Shift key is a violation of the DMCA, then the law needs to be changed."

For all the good that it'll do them, the kazaa folks are right. The entertainment industry doesn't understand the digital age and are monopolizing entertainment. None of that matters. They have loot and they know how to use it- line the coffers of senators and reps and then they'll end up doing your dirty work (see Rep. Berman AKA "hollywood's prag") regardless of how much it fucking screws the consumer.

If you've ever used a peer-to-peer network and swapped copyrighted files, chances are pretty good you're guilty of a federal felony.
