Uh, no. Because he PAID for the CD. As opposed to going on limewire and downloading music from other users, none of who paid for that music. Possibly, way way back, the original uploader MAY have bought the music but that would be one unit sold for maybe a million illegal p2p shares. In terms of sales loss, thats like if your friend bought a million CDs and gave them out as gifts. That's a big difference for the record company. You do see the difference, right?
OK so we need to start cracking down on the dj's out there sampling other peoples music to mix in their tracks. musicians are still making a butt load of money. Rap is the most popular form of music today. if these guys are hurting for cash so bad then how do they still afford $50,000 platinum chains $120,000 cars and million dollar mansions? oh yeah their really losing out. musicians have been ripping off other musicians music for century's now, and still do...
I'm glad that I don't have to deal with this kind of fascist crap at my university in the Netherlands. The RIAA and BREIN (Dutch copyright watchdog) can kiss my ass as well.
If I ever get subpoenaed by these cocksuckers, I'll voluntarily damage my eardrums and deafen myself to prove their stupidity. Suing 70 million people isn't going to solve anything. The music industry should spend more on R&D and finding more talented musical acts than suing its own customers. If they're receiving even more money from the rise of downloadable musical services such as iTunes, Napster and Rhapsody, why are they still complaining?
This is hilarious. Anyone with an ounce of computer knowledge can download music without viruses or spyware. If it says .exe at the end of file, it probably won't play in your ipod people.
as a matter of fact i do know what goes into the production of a track but musicians are rich as hell. for justin timberlake to say hey "i could have made 15 whole dollars if this kid had actually bought my cd" is rediculous. and the fact that he can sue us for it is even worse.
If your in college and you help the enemy you deserve your ass to be impaled, cuz when you buy an album only a tiny amount goes to the artist. If you want to help buy tickets to their shows, and shit at the show.
No there is a difference between shoplifting a CD and illegally downloading it.
Physically stealing the CD (or whatever media it is) is petty theft while downloading it gets you the chair.
Derek, I pray for you. You have been wronged.

Screen name? WTF? Have they EVER used Gnutella or Bittorrent (public trackers)? again, WHAT SCREENNAME?
How much did they pay Derek? Hell, if he did do this, did they waive the legal fees?
I love their Napster idea though: Free music.... until u graduate, then u cant play it anymore! (no surprise ppl didn't take to it!)
