Absolutely pathetic. I dont condone filesharing, but for fucks sake, why dont RIA go for the Russian and East German websites allowing Millions of songs for free download with links etc? WHY? Because a mother of four poses no threat to the Lawyers and faceless bastards at record companies that took their eye off the ball 10 years ago, and did fuck all to embrace electronic media. A mother of four is pretty defenceless, but, on the other hand, Organised Crimes gangs pose a threat of retribution to any Coke Snorting Record Executive.....they choose the easy target, cowards................truly shameful.
