  • Seven Crimes That Will Get You a Smaller Fine than File-Sharing

    Thinking about file-sharing? Don't. You'll get fined, and crime doesn't pay (unless you rob banks and/or armored cars, then it pays very well). Take it from Jammie Thomas, who was fined $2 million for downloading 24 songs, or anyone else who tried to fight the RIAA. ... more

    Inane, this compares criminal penalties to civil penalties. Additionally, for all of the listed crimes the victims can subsequently sue you in civil court for additional damages.

    If you don't know what the RIAA is by now, you must be living an extremely sheltered life.

    Interesting idea, but seems fuzzy. Although it's silly (I think) to give it a thumbs-down because you don't know what the RIAA is (Recording Industry of American Artists) because it doesn't matter. It's obvious what they're talking about from context. I agree that the "Where?" is a better question. Are these American laws? Swedish? French? And of course, it's disingenuous to only look at the fines involved, because the jail sentences are probably far higher for those other crimes. I give this one a thumb sideways.

    Its all about perspective, an editorial concerning analogies not a fact finding statement. No corruption of reality occurs here, so what is the problem? Good comparison BTW, keep it in perspective.

    Where? What is the RIAA? This is poor journalism.

    Plus you only serve an average of 6 to 8 years for murder. And to top it off, you can get an education while you are locked up!

    I'm going to make a blog, and just make up shit to post. Seems like it's a winning formula.

    Good idea. Poorly executed.
