i didn't know it was owned by CBS

there's only one conclusion for a company which harvests data -> the data will eventually be traded

argh. i can't get that story page to load.
why's the headline phrased as a question "did last.fm..."
- antares0
its a question because last.fm denies providing the data but this is the tip techcrunch received:
"I heard from an irate friend who works at CBS that last.fm recently provided the RIAA with a giant dump of user data to track down people who are scrobbling unreleased tracks. As word spread numerous employees at last.fm were up in arms because the data collected (a) can be used to identify individuals and (b) will likely be shared with 3rd parties that have relationships with the RIAA."

Anyone who downloads and listens to U2 deserves everything they get

ha they better build a few more jail cells if they're gonna lock up everyone who listened to the U2 leak.
actually, that might not be a bad idea. impound the bono lovers @ guantanamo.
- antares0
it is pretty fucked up though. why go after the users? find the source that leaked the album and maybe fuck that guy with a broomstick. the RIAA needs a business model that doesn't rely on trying to assrape people.

Hi jamble from the forums!
- marychain0
The older U2 fans will buy it regardless...
younger people probably download it just cause it's available...but they weren't going to buy it anyway.
somebody has to figure out how to stop the damn leaks in the first place...there's your problem...you assface lawyers
- marychain0
and U2...don't you make more money than God anyway?
fuck off
- adamrobertson0
It's all U2's fault. No matter how hard I try to ignore the little shits...

we should set up strikes -> we need to mobilise the troops -> set up unions
without users they are nothing
