Is you do not talk about Copyrighted Material

Or you might be labeled a criminal

Where does that link lead you~? a nice little article about how BREIN (Bastard Rejects Enjoying Intimidating the Netherlands...wait, no, thats not right. Oh, the Dutch MPAA/RIAA basically) is currently claiming Usenet provider FTD is a criminal operation and demands penalties of $70k a day for their dastardly transgressions.

And this time its not about providing copyrighted materials. Its about talking about them. Not linking to them, not providing, not giving out the secret handshake to get them. Just talking about them

I really liked that one song on that one album, it had that great beat that reminded me of that other song from that other album

Those guys have two major wake-up calls coming in the near future, in the form of this:

http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4596/135/ (which is currently Canadian only, but the evidence in question involves American and European artists as well)

and this:

And all I've got to say is that they've had this coming for a long time, so I hope they get hammered HARD.

And here I thought music was about artistic expression.

Silly me.
