No shit...

Especially since no federal laws exist yet as to the regulation of downloading music. Fair use still applies.

Ohboy, I thought their claws couldn't reach outside the US. I haven't downloaded squat except for a few things needed for research. I was only sharing a few lame songs so I wouldn't be placed in leechville. Ohboy, yes, saying it again. I've bashed the RIAA over and over. Yikes, have they checked out my diatribes against them or something?

I have to calm down and examine this closer. Ok, the header, I'll trace every IP shown.

Hmmm, liquidgeneration.com, could be a spoofed address but a trace led to liquidgeneration in Chicago. Weird, I&#39;ve got chills and gut is beginning to churn. WTF? I&#39;m with that mother who&#39;s suing the RIAA, these strong-arm brutes are racketeers. Let people denounce her for using the RICO act to go after these ratbastards, I&#39;m sure going to take some action.

I deviated from my norm and opened it in Outlook. I clicked the link to click to see what the fines would be if I didn&#39;t pay before court, I spotted the dread acronym RIAA as it tallied the numbers, my thoughts going wild as it was approaching the 20 thou mark. Part of me was saying, you&#39;re not in the states, they can&#39;t touch you.

OMFG. I am in egg-faced, red-faced, wide-eyed shock and disbelief. Hahaha. I&#39;ve been SABOTAGED&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; This is like getting PUNK&#39;D or like that Scare Tactics show I despise. Hell, it&#39;s like Candid Camera in a way. I&#39;ve never been on the receiving end of getting tricked and I pride myself in smelling a con before it&#39;s ConJured. Not this time. Take a look at what I found after the number generator finished. Click here. I&#39;m still laughing hard.

Intrigued, I checked out liquidgeneration. I really recommend it for anyone with fondness for semi-sophomoric humor, who likes to laugh, watch flash parodies, play movie triva and music games or to learn the truth about Britany&#39;s boobs or howl through a parody of Oukast -- Saddam peforming "Hey Allah". There&#39;s enough to keep one busy and amused for hours. It&#39;s quite respite from the real world. Be sure to check out the things at the bottom of the page. This site just doesn&#39;t quit&#33;

Just to illustrate the "realness" of liquidaudio, click here to see a site one would never suspect to be bogus. It&#39;s about the burgeoning porn industry in Iraq.

Woohoo, I&#39;ve been SABOTAGED&#33;&#33;&#33; Relief was instant, yet I&#39;m embarrassed I fell for it. I will never know who The Prankster is. Oh well, all in all it was a fun, yet scary experience.
