Haha....good thing i grabbed that back when Napster was still around.

Of course, I don't download songs anymore....just music videos I loved back when MTV played videos.

We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind. Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.

About napster, the article said that files that you downloaded from napster were easier to trace than others.

Yes.....but one has to have them shared for the RIAA to see them

I never shared anything I found. Cause I am a greedy troll.

I read in the Toronto Star yesterday that Canada is most likely not going to be as affected for the following reasons.

a)Our Laws are different
b)The Gov't already has a tax on blank recording material and that goes to the recording companies
c)Privacy Laws are much more different in Canada
d)Our version of the RIAA in Canada has like little money and little power

i wonder how they'd be able to do that...

remember, kids, when all this is over, you'll be able to tell your grandkids that "yeah, kids, i was there when all the shit was stirred up... but i was a wild one, alwyas on the risky side... i remember going on kazaa at night and downloading all the mp3s i could find.. those were the times"
