[Stingey]

ONE OF THE lawyers involved in defending cases bought against people by the RIAA claims that if the music industry wins a crucial case, the Internet will have to be switched off.

I think until the internet is shut down, we should make the most of it.

All in favor of "**** RIAA" sigs, aye.

Can't say you don't agree with me though, can you?

 

[Shodan]

I'd like to see it actually.

I'd hope there'd be chaos and looting.

 

[Qonfused]

Katrina-esque?

 

[Que-Ever]

Actually, if the internet were shut down, they'd have to give businesses and stuff a while to take care of any loose ends that might come up because of it, so that means maybe a year or more of internet time. It might not count for public sites like this one, though.

"ONE OF THE lawyers involved in defending cases bought against people by the RIAA claims that if the music industry wins a crucial case, the Internet will have to be switched off."

So because one guy says something that's highly exaggerated, everyone goes into a panic? It would never happen, tons of people and businesses rely on the internet. It would be like "shutting off" television.

 

[Shodan]

The point is, we know it's retarded, you can't switch off the internet, unless all the power in the world died.

 

[Uriel]

Yes you can, I've got the switch in my room.

 

[Shodan]

Alright, I'm sorry, just leave it alone.

 

[Raziaar]

Yes you can, I've got the switch in my room.

I have one of them too. That's why I have this. Sorry about the image quality. My camera can only take one picture before dying. Not enough battery juice.

 

[AKIRA]
