So every single person on the face of the planet averaged $10,000 of stolen songs on Limewire. Nice work RIAA, way to make your dying business model look credible.
I haven't bought or downloaded a record in over 5 years. Maybe stop pumping out manufactured garbage and accept the game has changed and people will want to buy more.

75 trillion is about 68 trillion MORE THAN the United States' national deficit.
F you record labels. May you foreclose and collapse for even asking.

One little suggestion: Perhaps making the judge in the case consider you to be a complete idiot, even before your opening arguments, may just not be the best way to present your case?
I'm jus' sayin' ......

Well this is an irresistible topic for many of us. I wonder how they arrived at that number. Maybe that total media world sales for the last 50 years and multiply by 10. That sounds fair to me!

If this doesn't completely invalidate the credibility of the RIAA, nothing will. Of course they had little to none to begin with.
If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if record label sold tracks realy cheaply say 10 cents a track. I would buy at that price and I'm sure a lot of people would too, no more pirates.... well some.... there will always be.... but I'm sure the record companies would take more money than they ever dreamed of
But not 75 Trillion ( I wonder how much of that would go to the artists)

Why is nothing happening to beemp3 and frostwire. All of the lime pirates are probably running to them.
75 Trillion? That's like how much the earth is worth!

I've said this for a long time...imagine if the labels, in 1999, 2000, started selling tracks online, in MP3, for $.50 a piece...would there even be any piracy?
