Michael Jackson doesn't want children in jail for music pirating. Apparently he wants them under his covers instead.

I agree with Michael Jackson here. *shudders* I'm not talking about the "play mates" under the covers. I'm talkin 'bout the fucking RIAA.

Since I'm scared now to download music, I guess I'll be buying less CDs.
Because I wont buy an album unless I can sample it. And if I can't download music to see if I'm gonna buy it, I'm not gonna buy it!

If radio didn't completely suck, we wouldn't need to be sampling shit online anyway. But I guess no one has thought of that before.

 

[Lordlindsey]

Couldn't agree more.

Radio blows, unless you pay for satellite radio. Paying sucks too.

Michael Jackson hasn't fallen into pieces yet? If he hasn't, it's about fuckin' time. I refused to read the article cos I could give two fucks about what he has to say.

i stopped using kazaa as a source to download music when i heard the first story about the RIAA suing people, and used a bigger, better source... mIRC

ive downloaded so much stuff, 1000x what i used to get on kazaa, i'd like to thank the RIAA for pushing me in the right direction, where as i used to get songs at a time, i now download albums at a time

i have so much shit now i dont even have a need for kazaa

..now, im not one that would just download music and not buy the album

but with these new 'measures' or laws or whatever, i cant even sample a few songs safely, so i go to a safer source in music downloading where they only offer full albums, turning me into a download whore i guess

i used to download at a speed where i could buy the cd's of the stuff i liked

now, i have so much shit.. im overloaded

I stopped downloading music awhile ago. But I have all of my cds I own on my computer, and have them saved on some mp3 cds that I took to work and put on my work computer. And I have an mp3 player in my car, so that works too.

 

[ThraxDude]

I wonder when they're gonna come into my home and take away my dual/dubbing tape deck and my CD burner......?

 

[Riehlthing]

They're doing that now, while you're away. And you'll have the lawsuit in your mailbox.

 

[ThraxDude]

I'm glad the RIAA never caught me borrowing my friend's Master Of Puppets tape back in 1988. shhhhh...... I made a copy for myself.
I loved it so I bought my own Master of Puppets tape, then bought the CD after that.
Too bad it's illegal to borrow music now.....

 

[Riehlthing]

Can I "borrow" your St. Anger CD that you "borrowed" from someone else? jk...Already have it. Want to "borrow" mine? You'd probably pay me to take it back.

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Neil Armstrong?
Well...
Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.
Michael Jackson fucked little boys in the ass.
