my question is if they hired this hacker why hasnt someone shut the RIAA down or at least their website..... also who would work for them freely he or she could never tell anyone about it or they would be flogged... next it smells like they caught someone and there was a deal made to keep someone out of jail... if they hire a hacker they violated the law and this will be made public when the case comes to court. hopfully the court sees it clearly..we canonly hope that this goes infront of a libral judge...

why a libral judge? that is someone who trys to create law by ignoring the law.

if somthing wrong was done we need a conservitive judge to follow the law not someone who refuses to accept the laws as they are written (if the law is wrong it needs to be changed but judges are only supposed to delet bad laws not make new ones because it suits them.... that's congresses job)

But does it actually work against the authorities? You never know... Getting caught is a 1 in 1000 or more thing, you could just be trying your luck with that program.
