I just found this little note from another P2P news/info site that I found stuffed in my I.E. Favorites.

I'm not sure if it's true, but here is what it say's:


RIAA Back Flips, P2P is “Actually Pretty Cool”
An RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) spokesman said today that the music industry body will cease suing users of p2p networks. “We decided to look at some real data on this and it seems people are discovering and listening to more music than ever before," said RIAA boss Mitch Bainwol. "Our distribution costs could be slashed by 95%, which we’ll spend on finding exciting new artists. This means people will be paying less for music while having a bigger range to choose from. It’s a win for the artists and a win for the customer."

Before reading if you have problems and are anal about any spelling errors WARNING STOP READING NOW!

If not read on! "This warning has been brought to you by ILIDS. INC Insomniacs with lowered IQ due to lack of sleep"

If you would like to help fund these poor souls so that they may be able to buy more Starbucks and handheld dictionary's please feel free to donate to. ILIDS. INC LOL

:icon_rr:

Well if this all is true on what was said in this report GREAT POST AXLMAN! I`m up as late as you are right now tooling around on the net working and decided to drop in to zeropaid.

I just get such a huge kick out of this RIAA AWAKING THEY HAD! So now they have woken up to realize "Wow the net can make us money with music sales! "

It not just a big hype like the .coms where in the 90`s damn its really still alive people are really still using the Internet for things other then e-mail and porn.

Man we better get our act together so the baby boomers and kids growing up don't think we are not "cool" we now will have a special bittorent "DAY"! And P2P Day!

And instead of saying how evil the P2P is we will slowly put out flyer's in schools for discounts on new music.

And to sample new artists up and coming and we will go into clubs and hand out free CD codes to enter free songs try before you buy.

And also even get in the media more to make ourself's known as not to fear us but embrace us. For we shall stop supporting movies and media about hackers but more geard towards having young actors in movies. Playing short parts shwing them going onto our sites and paying for music and so how COOL it is. Just like other companies pushing there products.

This way we shall not only save on marketing and over head costs but also save on the costs of PR`s having to defend every move we make.

We shall then brain wash a new generation into thinking RIAA does not stand for law suite happy sons of bitches.

But Real Individuals About Acceptance. :icon_thum Why word it like this because it will fit in perfect with our new found out look on "Change". :icon_salu


???? Wait a min people didn't this already happen with the another few huge companies selling god what was it they sold and push on allot of kids damn just cant remember LOL " :hi

" hint I used to collect a hell of alot of miles growing up when I was a kid and I don't mean ones I could use on a flight. Maybe a bomber jacket but that's are close as a flight you would get with these miles."

Thinking about that damn that's crazy how many items they had in the catalog that where the "in thing" during the head bangers ball area.

aaahhhh the good old days in the 80s-90s but the great coughing and chest problems that came after that LOL had to quit.

You know they do say the Internet has been also shown to be very adictive in kids hint hint follow my lead. Just wonder what the mpaa is going to do next follow in the foot steps LOL.....

I'll believe it when they turn their website into a giant index and start hosting torrent and nzb files.
