the Supreme Court and the music industry are the worst
Umm, the industry already has changed tactics from litigating against pirates. Also, that case had a lot to deal with various courts’ ability to decide damages in a copyright case. The Supreme Court isn’t in the business of punitive damages.

It’s enforced consumer activism whereby the market attempts to force consumers into using an obsolete service. When I want to listen to music I do not need to travel to a store to buy a useless format encased in a pound of petrochemicals.
And then you have jackasses like this trying to wrap their heads around the fact that no one uses discman anymore and equates ripping a CD theft.

May 23rd, 2012 at 8:32 AM
The music industry bankrupting a guy for sharing 30 songs pretty much defines “the worst.” I understand they’ve changed their tactics of late, but they could have easily dropped this case if they wanted to.

I’m all for intelligent political debates on here, but this is an embarrassing starting point for elevated discourse. This post is worse than the roundup pic.

Yea that’s pretty bad. Although it’s a pretty terrifying “example” that they made this guy.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:38 AM
The music industry bankrupting a guy for sharing 30 songs pretty much defines “the worst”
I’d agree but that guy had a way out, he chose to take it to court, and then got flogged by the lower court. I don’t get why people expect music and film industries to lay down for piracy. I realize that people like to steal films and music, but to act suprised when the industry fights back is dumb.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:38 AM
Yup. Hell, I try and get most of my stuff in FLAC (although it eats up a ton of storage space). I can’t remember the last time I purchased a CD (not that I could if I wanted to given the utter lack of floor space dedicated to the medium anymore).

good mornin.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:43 AM
All of this is true. I don’t pirate too much – I borrowed Homeland this season because I’m not ordering Showtime for one Sho – and frequently use the Internet as a library for ebooks, yet I’m sympathetic to why people do. Cable is fucking expensive and offers a mostly shitty user experience, gouging you on rates and On-Demand movies. Most music acts put out a good song or two here and there but rarely justify a full album purchase, and I’ve found that most fans will spend the money to support artists they enjoy.
As an HBO subscriber I hate that Game of Thrones is the most pirated show on the Internet because A, that series needs ratings to survive and B, more subscribers = higher budgets for an already expensive series. But again, part of that is on HBO for refusing to offer their HBOGo as a standalone service. They should go after piraters…to a point.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:45 AM
what he said. $675k? the guy is 25 years old. Financially, his future is ruined. his wages will be garnished for at least the next 30 years to pay this off.
you know how you have that “talk” with a girl you’ve been dating for a few years? The financial one? Wonder how that will go over.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:45 AM
@scripty
If I scanned and emailed you $20 I would still have $20. Copying is not theft. Because old fucks like it that way is not reason enough for me to get my music from the radio or television. I don’t even need to own the music I can just stream it. Surprised people were not sued for requesting songs on the Radio back in the day.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:46 AM
they could offer it as a huge premium standalone service, say double the rates of cable subscriptions, and people would still buy it, especially if they open up the vaults to the entire HBO original programming catalog, not just small portions of one season at a time.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:46 AM

May 23rd, 2012 at 8:47 AM
Again, you can buy single songs on ITunes for $1-2.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:48 AM
I quit pirating once all of the good download sites began to look like seedy dating sites.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:50 AM
i realize that the industries like to steal intellectual property…good thing the creative people can’t afford lawyers like the executives.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:50 AM
fwiw, i never have understood pirating TV shows or movies. completely different than songs, IMO.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:53 AM
ehh. To me, either one is theft but downloading gets a pass because of high jacked up the prices were in the late 90s and early 00s. $20 for a CD with one hit song was bull shit and I think people are not over it still.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:53 AM
Uhhhh, there’s this thing called Copyright Law. If you do not like the way the law is written, work to get it changed. Until then, obey the law and stop stealing.
Pirating copyrighted music is a crime and I have no sympathy for those that get caught while engaging in the practice. It’s no different than walking into a Best Buy and grabbing a bunch of CDs and running out the door. Yet somehow society accepts one while frowning on the latter.
Anyone who has ever downloaded music without paying for it knew it was wrong. Why should I feel sorry for the kid?
/IP lawyer rant
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:53 AM
honestly, i dont even consider downloading songs as pirating. tv shows take considerable amounts of legitimate work to produce…cameras, stage setups, editing, etc. when you download that youre screwing over the support staff.
“pirating” music’s no different than having a friend play you a song. the only people truly financially screwed out of pirating music are the labels, not the artists.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:54 AM
How is it different?
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:54 AM
fwiw, i never have understood pirating TV shows or movies. completely different than songs, IMO.
and why is that? What’s the difference? They are both a product. Because you can justify paying for one but not the other?
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:54 AM
Until Itunes came along, there wasn’t much of a legal deterrent to downloading music.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:54 AM
really?
music you tend to listen to more, at least i do, so buying was never a problem for me to justify.
but considering the price of a TV season on dvd or blu-ray (even movies for that matter) and how many times you’ll watch them more than once, it’s no wonder pirating is the problem it is for movies and TV shows.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:55 AM
Artist receives the smallest share of a purchase from Itunes at 10 cents per dollar. Itunes has restrictive locks on your downloads. There is a great deal to learn from Louis Ck selling his show directly for $5 without a middle man.
A huge amount of artists are discovered through their Myspace/soundcloud pages giving their music away. Artists make bank touring not through sales. They need to be heard.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:55 AM
fuck off with this copyright bullshit. youre screwing huge companies out of their 1000% markup…the artist gets pennies compared to what the compaies get.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:55 AM
I totally agree with this.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:56 AM

Hi Spence!!
And I am STUNNED that a guy who made “low 7 figures” by compiling other people’s work thinks it OK to steal music. Just stunned.
May 23rd, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Last I checked, you lived in a capitalist society. Your “I’m entitled to this music!” bullshit rings hollow. Just because you want it does not mean you get to have it unless you can pay for it.

going to the “music companies screw the artists” reason for stealing music? That’s pathetic ideology. So the company only gives the artist X%. fuck that, I’ll get it for free so the artist gets ZERO! Does not compute.
Just because the RIAA is an unsympathetic group doesn’t make theft okay.

Without pirated TV I never would have come to discover the holy trinity of current TV: Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Downton Abbey
But if I were ever to be busted for it wouldn’t think I was being wronged in any way…the outrage over companies wanting to prevent revenue leakage is odd, getting entertainment free of charge isn’t your birthright
May 23rd, 2012 at 9:06 AM
there used to be a time when the demand for a product would determine the pricing of the product, which was a key point to a capitalist society. supply and demand. the product the music industry is putting out there is too expensive for what it is, same goes for TV shows and movies in physical form.
those physical mediums are on the plank, though, and their time is running out. I don’t feel bad for the labels and studios that put out a physical medium that can’t be protected against modern technology and it gets easily ripped, copied and posted online.

May 23rd, 2012 at 9:07 AM
Someone owns the rights to something produced by labor and they are trying to make a living by selling it. If you find a way to obtain it illegally without paying you are in the wrong.
It’s pretty simple really.
I mean, do whatever you want, but don’t pretend you have any moral standing.
May 23rd, 2012 at 9:07 AM
Yeah, honestly I think The Killers are gonna be ok no matter how I purchase their album
May 23rd, 2012 at 9:08 AM
it’s all intellectual property…the company just distributes it. the point is, you’re the consumer, the artist is the producer and yet, we’re paying the middle man. by pirating, you’re not disrupting anything to do with the product itself, only the people who are distributing or have a piece of paper saying they own it.
that’s why radiohead releasing their album entirely for download and louis ck and aziz ansari doing their downloaded shows is groundbreaking…eliminates the industry entirely. the artist retains the rights and property and gets all the profit…a windfall for them since it’s better than the deal they were getting from the industry, and the consumer’s just as happy.

TexansFan,
for every Metallica or Adele or whatever trendy pop act sells 1,000,000+ downloads through iTunes… there are thousands of artists that the record industry invests substantial amounts of money in to get just a handful of songs written and recorded. It’s a big gamble. Lots of the money that a popular artist generates is used to pay off the “losses” from those other artists that do not reach mainstream success.
Now, I’m not siding with the record companies or the RIAA, but to just point to Lars Ulrich and the Napster case and say “fuck that guy, fuck the Man, stealing music is cool!” is so short-sighted and wrong that I cannot even formulate a rational response.
May 23rd, 2012 at 9:09 AM
Me too, I would throw Archer and Game of Thrones in there as well. And I can thank this in particular for introducing me to tvshack.net. Sadly, it has been seized by the RIAA or someone.

FYI, the company OWNS the intellectual property.
I do not have time to give a copyright lesson, but just so you know each sound recording that you know as a “song” has multiple copyrights. The actual master recording is 99.9% of the time owned by the record company while the artist retains the writing credits/copyrights. The record industry is not the middle man.

The best part about Lolo is when you show a girl her pic, and tell her that Lolo is about 160lbs. My wife was stunned. She’s 34 with 2 kids, rockin a 6 pack, and worried about being 5’10″, 155. Muscle is beautiful. Skinny soft bitches make me puke. You should have a calf muscle in high heels. If not, hit the gym honey.

How do record companies make most of their money? Im surprised a band like Metallica hasn’t told their record company to go get fucked, distributed their own albums and receive 100% of the profit.
Most of the big artists change labels or form their own when their first big contract plays out. Beatles (Apple), Madonna (Maverick) and some others have done this. I think Jack White (???) might have his own.
Today, you see some of the bands going with Live Nation, which is better and having a broad-ranging marketing/sales plaform to integrate and optimzie artist pay.
But some good groups try the self-studio ownership, buying equity stakes in small studios, but then struggle with it. Collective Soul and Weezer are two recently who have had good records on small labels but then they don’t get the word out. The artists tire of doing 500 radio interviews to promote their tours, etc

Look at it another way. Is it worth all that work for a band like that who already has more money then they can spend? Like changing the oil in my car. I know how to do it and I’ve done it before, but it’s not worth my time and effort so I pay someone else to do it.

Those artists are free to do what they want, but it’s not a choice with no negative side-effects.
As much as the industry can be terrible, they also employ(ed) tons of people out there looking for new bands. They would sign tons of them, hoping that 1 out of 15 or 20 would “make it” — which is enough to keep them profitable. When the math changed it’s a lot more little bands without contracts.

The music industry bankrupting a guy for sharing 30 songs pretty much defines “the worst.” I understand they’ve changed their tactics of late, but they could have easily dropped this case if they wanted to.
but isn’t this the litigation strtegy employed by many companies….we prosecute everything no matter how small, to show the more heavy-duty criminals they will definitely be prosecuted? the theory is, if they let anything go, word gets around. similar to companies never settling injury claims out of court, because that becomes known as well, and false suits increase

The problem with this model is the Internet is vast.

Most people are not going to spend hours and hours searching the internet for new music to like. So if bands don’t have the big bad music industry to find them and push for them it’s going to be a lot harder to “make it”.

What I mean is if Band A is awesome in Eugene, Oregon but a crippled music industry never signs them and pushes for them how do you find them? How do they make any money and put out a bunch of awesome albums?
Right now one of the reasons MySpace still is a tiny bit relevant is because they did an even passable job as a place for musicians to put a flag somewhere on the Internet. But everyone knows it isn’t really the answer.
Ultimately, if the music industry is going to continue downsizing, something has to replace it so that Band A in Eugene is able to be found by the general public and be successful. If that’s the goal, anyway.

Very good friend of mine is a virgin. She’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and she is now engaged to another one of my friends. I know from insinuation that they have done just about everything else. I certainly don’t agree with her line of thinking, but I respect her for sticking with it. She may look back and regret not getting all that extra dick one day but it’s her choice.

dude, you realize that people have been finding music for centuries, right? music didn’t just pop up and become industrialized in the 60′s…how did people on the west coast hear about jazz in NYC during the 40′s and 50′s? how did british heavy metal that wasnt distributed stateside influence a northern california metal movement? how did brazilian music fuse with jazz? people like to discuss and share music, regardless of who gave it to them.
and again, this hypotehtical band isn’t making money on albums if they’re with a label. they’re making money doing shows.

You realize that when you steal you have removed a finite object from the market and literally taken money out of someones pocket.
Can we all agree that we want to experience media before we buy it? Who buys a song they have never heard? I’m a supposed to post up on the radio with inane chatter all day to hear songs I may want to buy? Fuck that. Fuck them for not evolving their business model. Not willing to bail out a flawed obsolete industry at my own inconvenience and cost because old people don’t understand the internet.
I bought The Wire series on DVD because I had already watched it. If I could buy HBO GO online they would have my money. Presently trying to buy streaming SEC Football to save myself the hassle. People buy the media they like and they way they consume and discover media is online.

In Amsterdam if you want a threesome it costs a little extra (still around a hundred bucks) but you have to change condoms between chicks.

Pick up a box of shermans and then walk miles and miles throughout the city for the next 8 hours.

A woman is in absolutely no way qualified to talk about how easy it is for men to get laid.

May 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Again…the reason people go to hookers isn’t because they can’t get laid for free. It’s because they HAVE TO DO NOTHING to get laid other than drop some coin. Then the chick leaves. Leaving is a big key, here. I think it’s a common misconception that people who use hookers can’t get laid without paying. They simply don’t want to work for it and waste the time. I’ve had a couple of friends who never had issues getting ass pay hookers for the convenience of it.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:25 AM

Also, she’ll soon pass out, and you can leave without having to act like you want to fuck her again in the morning. Once is enough, you fucking whore. You got your free drinks, you got spooge on your eyelashes, now please be quiet so I can leave and never ever think about you and your back fat again.

I’m so confused.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:46 AM
It’s my experience to say the word ‘cunt’ early and often when talking to women in bars. It proves you are a train-wreck and real recognize real.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Also, cops.
uh ain’t that a quid pro quo?
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Oh man.
What’s the one night as a kid when you cannot sleep at all (no, Coop, not the night before the ESPN The Mag Body Issue comes out), Christmas Eve. When I was seven I saw that at a friends house on Christmas Eve (also Fern Gully) and was ruined for months.

I can’t believe someone is complaining about having to care for a corgi. Fucking blasphemy.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:49 AM
Well…this round-up turned out interesting..

Was in Detroit with a cop buddy for Lions/Eagles, he left the casino with a pro… after they wrapped things up he overheard her talking on her phone setting up him to get robbed as he was leaving. He fucking ran.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:50 AM
I’m not complaining at all. I felt so bad for him. They have little legs in the first place and if one goes bad, THEY CAN’T POWER A WHEELY CART WITH THOSE LITTLE THINGS!
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:50 AM
what’s the one movie that freaked everyone out and still freaks them out even tho they know better after the first viewing?
two for me…jurassic park and the fly.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:50 AM

Does your husband fast forward through the scary bits for you?
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:51 AM
my “awww” is at once laughing at the mental image of a corgi in a dog wheelchair and sympathy.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Candyman fucked me up for a while after I saw it. I was pretty young.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:52 AM
lol…i loved it tho. it’s rare a movie gets my adrenaline pumping like that.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:52 AM
150% this. You can get anal with a little confidence and a sense of humor.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:53 AM
IT and Poltergeist traumatized me for years. The scene in IT where Pennywise is digging out a grave, and Poltergeist when the clown arms come out from under the bed.
I was terrified of clowns until I watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

I volunteered my apartment for the “live entertainment” portion of a bachelor party featuring a couple of hookers. (Complete debacle, by the way. Looked like the place had been nuked.)
When they were going home one of them tried to carry out my giant CD binder. (This was 10-11 years ago before mp3 players were as prevalent.) I called her on it, she hands them over acting like she’d made a mistake. It’s fun watching dumb people try to play dumb.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:54 AM
The Willies. First saw it as a 9 year old, probably didnt help.

Haven’t seen JP to this day, but I agree on The Fly. Not scary just gross.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:56 AM
This guy get sit. His level of disdain is impressive.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Creepshow was a movie that freaked me out well into adulthood, that was a legitimately terrifying horrible movie.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:56 AM
yea…same with the fly and jurassic park. saw em at 10.
strangely enough, i saw the costner robin hood with my mom at 6 (wouldn’t stop screaming to see an R movie since i loved robin hood the cartoon) and the birthing scene with all the blood and umblicical cord shit didn’t freak me out at all.
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Oohh yeah, this one too
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:57 AM
you know I may have no game and a shitty personality, but I don’t think I’v ever been the ugliest mother fucker in the bar.

big hoss, he’s shock-jocking. hey didn’t you ask for some advice here last week, about an interview or something? how did whatever it was go?
who was the one asking about what to do because his boss asked him to go to a lake cabin for the weekend?
two for me…jurassic park and the fly.
blair witch and jacob’s ladder
i took a really italian bartender on a first date to see Casino or Heat (whichever one ends with a cornfield baseball bat beating) and got nervous that if i treated her badly she had brothers that might slug me up. so i didn’t ask for a second date. i imagine that she was too hairy and her fran drescher laugh would have scotched the relationship eventualy anyway
May 23rd, 2012 at 10:58 AM

May 23rd, 2012 at 10:59 AM
is that where it starts strangling the girl? I couldn’t wear anything around my neck for years, and I would constantly tug at the collar of my shirt up until a couple years ago because of that fucking clown. fuck that movie.

Candyman fucked me up for a while after I saw it. I was pretty young.
This one for me too, you beat me to it. That black dude still scares me no matter what he shows up in, although I think he’s still playing the Candyman character in all his movies.
May 23rd, 2012 at 11:02 AM
pet cemetary’s achilles’ tendon cutting scene always freaked me out.

closest i came to hiring a hooker was in vegas on a road trip to california. was 26, didn’t have much money but had always been curious what a pro could do. i was in an off the strip dive motel, and looking through all those sex flyers got me imagining their safety escorts simply pulling a gun and taking whatever money i had so i didn’t call
May 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 AM
He guested on an X Files episode (EVERYONE did, I watched the series through last fall and each episode has a guest star you recognize from other stuff, it was insane) as a Vietnam vet who could kill people with his mind and hadn’t slept since the war. Great episode, was the one where they gave Mulder his new partner that was actually the mole for the Smoking Man.
May 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Jack Bauer handled him. I’m not scurred anymore.
May 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 AM
@Senyor…I know it’s shock stuff, it’s hilarious. At the same time that kind of depravity has to come from somewhere.
I did have an interview about two weeks ago, thanks for asking. I thought it went well. As I said then, I figured I was a long shot candidate and probably still am. Although I learned that they were only interviewing five people for the spot so that’s nice.
I was supposed to have heard by now whether they’re cutting me loose or I move on for more interviews, so I’m trying to keep hope alive.

If anyone has seen Martyr, a French(?) horror movie, that shit was fucked up. My fiance actually cried for about 15 minutes during it.
