RIAA wins big in LimeWire lawsuit
[via cnet]
In a decision that could mean sweeping changes to file sharing in the United States, a federal court has found the company that operates file-sharing service LimeWire liable for copyright infringement, according to court records reviewed by CNET.
$150,000 for each registered work that was infringed?! The number of infringing works is likely in the millions?! What the fuck? Are you kidding me? Let's say 2,000,000 registered works were infringed. That's $300 BILLION dollars...
I have a couple words for you, RIAA: FUCK YOU.
In a decision that could mean sweeping changes to file sharing in the United States, a federal court has found the company that operates file-sharing service LimeWire liable for copyright infringement, according to court records reviewed by CNET.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, for the Southern District of New York, on Tuesday granted summary judgment in favor of the music industry's claims that Lime Group, parent of LimeWire software maker Lime Wire, and founder Mark Gorton committed copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition, and induced copyright infringement.
The RIAA has said it is entitled to the maximum statutory damages, which is $150,000 for each registered work that was infringed. The number of infringing works they could try to claim is likely in the millions.

10 REAL Reasons to Oppose Health Care Reform
Show this article to all the people that oppose health care reform. I'm betting that 90% of the people on Facebook that are bitching about the health care reform don't have a damn clue what the health care reform even entitles.
So here they are, the top 10 reasons for opposing health care reform:
1) You are so rich and so sure that you always will be that you don’t even need medical insurance.
2) You have great insurance right now. You are confident that you can always keep it and that it will continue to be affordable.
3) You trust that your insurance company will always say your current doctor is “in network” and will never tell you that you can’t go to that doctor or a specialist of your choice.
4) You have never questioned why your insurance company will only reimburse you $400 for a procedure that both your doctor and hospital and your friends who have had similar procedures insist cost $1200.
5) You just want to protest the idea that some people think end-of-life planning is a sensible idea. Or you just enjoy the creative nonsense that reform inspires among opponents and you want to encourage them to continue to entertain you.
6) You don’t feel any moral responsibility when you know that many people have no insurance because they are working but can’t afford it or because they have lost their jobs and have no income. You also don’t care that many other people are vastly under-insured. And you don’t mind continuing to subsidize costly, but often minimal, emergency room care for the uninsured.
7) You think if people have pre-existing conditions and are denied insurance, that is just their own tough luck.
8) You think opposing health care reform is a good way to show off your gun collection.
9) You hate Barack Obama and want to see the American president fail and think opposing health care reform is a good way to bring about a revolution.
10) You think voting against your best interest is cool.
