"We know Diamond explains it is making a player, but we understand it to be a recorder. I think it's well established, under international copyright law, that the reproduction that occurs inside the Rio constitutes a recording."

  • Some clown from the RIAA

The "reproduction" above referring to transferring mp3's onto the mp3 player or whatever tortured logic they're trying to use there

I know there are way worse and way more evil :porky-happy: that have caused the world infinitely more tangible harm out there but I hate these copyright ghouls so, so much

    I remember one early 90s "Take Your Kid to Work Day" where I went with my dad to Scientific Atlanta. They had some Silicon Graphics workstations that he showed me and he goes, "They look like toys but they cost $25,000," and my mind was blown because that was just south of what a Chevy Corvette or Porshce 911 cost at the time.
