Current mood:

*thud*

Russian website Allofmp3.com is being sued by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America; they're basically a lawsuit-happy group claiming to represent American music artists and have championed stopping music piracy) for $1.65 trillion dollars. That's trillion with a T, folks, apparently working out to $150,000 per song that Allofmp3.com has to offer. They're also being hit by record companies. Apparently the site charges $1 per album and cents per track and doesn't offer any royalties in return.

That's pretty damn wanky in and of itself, but people are wanking about it in articles and blogs, too. Here, in the comments of an article, we have people debating copyright law by calling each other Fu©kin’ morons. This article features some wank over whether piracy is A-OK and whether Allofmp3.com operates in a legal manner or not, as well as this gem of a comment: The RIAA is like big oils unmarried pregnant sister in-law. Down with the man.

If anybody finds any more commentary, feel free to comment and I'll link it up.
