I'm not in to music enough to normally care about this whole file sharing thing, but, still, nice find!

I mean, just, wow.

TBQH, I knew that the music industry would never actually be able to stop piracy, and this just proves they're wasting their own time in trying. Curbing it, that's one thing, but outright stopping it (their original intent)? Nah, not happening.

...it's about damn time they realized this.

Right now I have created the resonating sound of a palm slapping onto the surface of my face.

It would have been funnier hearing this news from Lars Ulrich.

Apparently the settlement money isn't enough to offset all the legal fees from this crusade. Of course this doesn't serve as much consolation to the folks that settled out of court for some six-figure amount and have to drop out of college and work three jobs just to pay it off. And that Weird Al song was awesome.
