If I were him, I would pay them. In monthly installments of one dollar. And right before I sent it, I would “run out” of toilet paper…

You know what’s funny… After all these years of having to pay top dollar for software, music and movies; we’ve downloaded thousands of things and gotten away with it. If they DO end up putting a stop to all piracy (which will happen in a million years), the amount of damage we’ve done so far is just awesomeness. They’ve lost so much money and it’s so funny. I’ll download software and music I’ll never use or listen too, just to show maximum disrespect. Support the artist’s you say? What, so they can pay off their 4 story mansion? Please…

“Even if he could pay it, none of the money – be it $675,000, or $67,500 – would find its way into the pockets of the artists whose songs were involved. The RIAA told TorrentFreak that the damages will be used to fund new anti-piracy campaigns instead.”

That is priceless. All those BS guilt-trip adds about how piracy takes food off the tables of hard-working people in the entertainment industry. So why aren’t these judgement going to the poor, starving entertainers?

This is great news! Why?
Because it keeps the evil-corporate image of the RIAA in people’s minds. Also, it helps to educate and enlighten the older members of our society that file sharing exists and it’s relatively easy to do. “You mean I can download Apocalypse Now, or the Rolling Stones, or my favorite episode of Kojak for free? No way!” (yes way!)
Hopefully, it will bring some converts into the fold…

“The RIAA told TorrentFreak that the damages will be used to fund new anti-piracy campaigns instead.”

That pretty much ruin any argument RIAA throws at the lawsuits lol.

One of MAFIAA’s weapons is misinformation and fake data. Unfortunately, a jury is composed by regular Joes that don’t have much of a clue of what is happening. A well paid lawyer can brainwash them into obedient puppets in most cases regarding complex issues such as tech related and even the petrol case that demanded more attention to the guy than to any lawyer blabbing.

Oh well, good setback for MAFIAA. Hope both guys can carry on with their lives. And keep sharing =)
