  I say WTF, $425 million from CANADIAN music piracy?  Do these people listen to most of this music?  I live here and I won''t listen to most of this crap.  They already get the tape and CD taxes, what else do these bums want.  /clap for Shaw I hope they screw these music industry bastards over.;  You''ll believe in more than that before I''ve finished with you.  Take your army to the Haunted Forest, and bring me that girl and her dog!  Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed! They''ll give you no trouble, I promise you that.  I''ve sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them.  Take special care of those ruby slippers.  I want those most of all.  Now, fly!  Fly! Bring me that girl and her slippers!  Fly!  Fly!  Fly! ;  I love how thier loss is totally because of piracy, and not the fact that everyone is sick to death of the one hit wonders the music industry is pumping out everyday! As an interesting side note, I was watching Conan (the chat show) tonight, and he said to one of his guests that he tapes all the TV episodes that his guest is in and watches them all the time. Yet, I cant help but notice that he hasnt been arrested yet. Well, hes admited publicly that he own illegal copyrighted material, so I would only assume that since the big watchdogs are ''cracking down'' that they will soon arrest him. What? THEY WONT?! This is what shits me to tears. The double standards. I mean geez, they arresst some grandad in Canada for NOTHING (it was his grandkids) and hes screwed, but big TV star says he does it all the time and everyone just turns a blind eye!!!GAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;  Taping TV-shows for personal use is, AFAIK, not illegal. Neither is recording your favourite radio station.Of course, this may well have changed since I last heard anything about it.   [My Image Gallery (WIP)][Greatest Tetris clone evar!][Return your stolen MP3s] ;  I would support the fucking music industry more if the cd''s didn''t cost an arm and a leg! I buy cd''s but only cd from second hand shops because a) I can''t find any good older releases in music shops b) scratch free and 1\4 the price.

You are allowed to tape the show, watch it once, but then you MUST get rid of it. Conan said he watched them all the time, hence he is breaking the law. If the big corps are actually   worried they will arrest him, since he is costing them $400 million and 100''s of jobs!!!What I find interesting though is that it is legal to copy music. Recording from a radio station is A-OK, as long as you dont share it. So as long as I can prove that I never shared anything over Kazaa, and I only ever downloaded, RIAA cant do shit! Loophole? ;quote:Original post by cavemanbob  I say WTF, $425 million from CANADIAN music piracy?  Do these people listen to most of this music?

The entire business of Canadian music consists of telling idiots to buy it because it was made by a Canadian. It''s dimwitted, slow, and moronic.I can hardly wait to see this come back and bite them in the ass.   Resist everyoneI am your only friend. Click here for more information. (MOVED)
