    You owe me a new monitor and keyboard....lmao!!

    As to the record labels....good luck. The Dr. Evil reference brings home the point of how ludricous that is. The quick background music should play whenever a DB record industry lawyer repeats that amount and does the Dr. Evil pinky thing.

    Doubtful, I saw somewhere (slashdot comments, i think) that it comes out to 250,000 per person in the USA. And goes to 750,000+ each if you just count the people paying income tax.

    I'll give you an IOU. If you don't get your money by next Tuesday, then you can keep the IOU.

    I think we're all due almost that much from fixing computers that were housing Limewire. ;)

    I actually spotted it on a co-worker's 13yr old son's laptop....amongst other garbage that he wanted me to clean up.

    I use to use it and even pay for it back in the day.

    One word....YouTube.

    It is the best for when I want to listen to music I want to listen to without paying for it, yet I don't get into these silly little copyright arguments.....plus if someone wants to enforce the stupid DMCA law, they take it down. Everyone wins and is still a friggin millionaire. :)


    (And no, I don't rip the video/song for personal use...)

    Thought I remember a story about a contractor who had a p2p app on his work laptop and somehow shared out more than he wanted to like the blueprints to the Presidents helicopter.

    This is exactly what I do at work when I want to listen to a specific song. Otherwise, I'll run Accuradio.com.

    Youtube here too. I use it to listen to new songs on the radio as well as pull up an old song that is stuck in my head. I'll often leave the window open for days to get my fix in. What is funny is I sometimes youtube a song even when I have it in my music library. It is just quicker since I already have it up.
    Decide what to be and go be it.
