Where else are you going to put it while you're talking on your cell phone and applying makeup and changing CDs while driving? ;)00000
I hope they win, and I hope the recording industry stops being an industry. I really don't see why it's such a huge deal whether or not artists get 1% of the ridiculous amount of money that companies make selling their CDs :P

the lawsuit was long enough ago that cellphones and cdplayers in cars werent as common, i think a better example would be YOU CANT PUT IT THE CUP HOLDER IT MIGHT SPILL ON YOUR CAR PHONE and what else would you do when fast forwarding through your cassettes to find that one song

Also I don't understand why people have hard time using 24 hour clock, especially when in English language "fourteen hundred" sounds much better.

Historical precedent, the same reason we still use our silly method of measurements. It sounds more natural, at least for most people in America, to use the 12-hour clock. Likewise, you having learned it the other way would probably prefer a 24-hour clock regardless of how it was pronounced.
On topic, gotta love how they calculate damages and revenue. It's as if the possibility of anyone creating something like TPB would ever do it for anything other than money doesn't exist. I got a kick out of, “It’s easy to come in contact with the users by leaving a message in the comments field" too. I'm sure it'd be really practical to ask for damages across every torrent.
Also, how seriously can anyone make the claim that software piracy is the exact same thing as stealing a physical copy? There's no lost product, and there's no guarantee that anyone would have bought it if the alternative didn't exist regardless.

April 17 is the day we know what the court has decided. Quite a long time.
Chiyachan:
17th April? That's ages away. Give the verdict now!
I hope it goes in TPBs favour... Cos if it doesn't... It's only a matter of time until we'll be summoned. >_>
We host music. <_<
