What Should I Call Myself.

[Unsueable Davey Brown]

Hi:

New here. Pleased to meet y'all.

I wanted to use my first post to ask for help concerning something that's been confusing me.

OK. I'm Davey Brown. and I am a filesharer.

So can I hang around in the tough part of town now. and tell people I'm a criminal?

OK, if I was French I could do it, because that French grandpappy got jail time for downloading a movie for his grandkids, right?

I couldn't smoke cigarettes and act tough in Canada, because they have no law to lock my sorry ass away for filesharing.

What's the story in Italy? I heard something like the new Prime Minister owns all the media content in Italy, so he's hoping to bring in a new law offering up to 6 years imprisonment for filesharing. Is that true?

So in Italy, I can definitely refer to myself as a hard-ass criminal right? Will I get automatic Cosa Nostra membership with that?

Now in America I'm screwed. We don't get jailtime just for sharing files, right? The most I can hope for is to get sued. That kind of sucks. So I'd just be like any other American who gets sued, because little Betsy got her ass bit by my daschund. Where's the special in that?

But hey, if that's true, why is Britney Spears calling me a thief? I don't feel like I've earned the right.

Here' s something though. Do you think us filesharers will ever get to go on Judge Judy?

I think getting sued is worse than jail time, because it hurts you right where you live, in the wallet! When you mess with a person's ability to feed, clothe, keep a roof over his/her head and the bills paid, you're really trying to kill that person's spirit and that’s the worse another human can do to another. As for Britney Spears, when she gets some talent..... that's when I will stop file sharing, so until hell freezes over and Satan goes skiing....... you get the idea.
Just call yourself for you really are........ just normal person who likes to share despite what greedy corpations slander you as.

you can always move to Canada, if things in the US get too silly. :;)

I guess each country thinks of things that are worst for its people.. Here in america, being sued is the worst thing, worst then jail. cause america loves money..

Just remember not to upload RIAA music, or dont even bother downloading it. Its not like RIAA sponsored artists have any talent anyway.
