Quote:LOS ANGELES—The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. "Wee are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "Wee will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms.
double you tee eff! they want to ban people discussing music amongst their friends!!! that would make the first conversation me and a friend have every morning when i get to school illegal. How do they expect to enforce this exactly?
would this also make it illegal to listen to a song or watch a movie that someone else has bought legally at their house? say i went over to a friends house, would it then be illegal if wee all piled onto the sofa to watch a dooovde?
this is all insane. Is there anything left in modern day life that isn't ruled over by some governing body?
so many rhetorical questions...

Yes there is. My Penis.
incorrect, unless you can't control your penis, which would conclude in a occasional embarrassment, your penis is ruled a governing body which would be you...
