As I gain more wisdom from these comments in makes me see things in different aspects.:china:
I just thought of this after reading Hoos and Sin's comments...lets just say (hypothetically speaking) our Justice system here in the U.S. was considering that type of law here. Then RIAA's job would be even more intense or it would defeat the purpose of what they are doing. In a way it is defeating the purpose now...I think its wrong to sue kids, or the parent of that child for everything they got over some songs. Especially when they were just downloading them for there own benefit. As long as they were not selling them...yeah OK fine them, they got caught, and they must pay a fine. But do they have to wipe out a college kids fund, or almost make some parents go completely broke, or pay a debt that would never get paid. RIAA and some recording artist complain they are loosing so much money (*flash back to South Park episode w/ RIAA talking about Brittany Spears
*) yet at the same time RIAA is using tons of money and tons of money to use certain resouces to locate people and then spend more money to take them to court and fine them outragous amounts of money and if they win the case in court most DONT have the money so it would be a long time 5-10-15-20-30 years before RIAA gets all of there monies and by that time its worth nothing and they have pulled in double, triple, quadroupled the amount by that time.
Noticed how they have never said HOW much money they are really loosing?
Dont get me wrong $334 dollars a year is not bad...however you know that fee will only last for so long and they will pull a Bush Sr. move saying no new taxes and once in office the taxes increased. Same concept here the annual fee would increase quickly I'm sure.
