ROTFLMAO

[J'Pol]

There are now the same number of file sharers who have replied to this, than have been hit by lightning.

[DarkBlizzard]

Damn i have a better chance of gettin cancer than gettin caught by the RIAA. ah .........time to worry about cancer everyone.. :lol:

[MagicNakor]

And what's your source for this study Paul? ;)

:ninja:

[Icey]

lol.. its true :)

[RPerry]

where Paul got it from isn't as important as the message it sends, quit lettingthr RIAA quit scaring you, thats all they mean to do, since they can't do anything else.

[MagicNakor]

Oh well. 63% of statistics are made up on the spot anyhow. ;)

:ninja:

[Keikan]

They forgot SARS

[Klaser]

This year alone, 106 people have died from SARS and it has been a top story for several months. While over 4,000 people die from the flu, no one even mentions it. This whole RIAA shpiel is a bunch of crap.

[RealitY]

I think Paul has a new campain running, and well said.

I could only add be cautious and share away, since the worst that will be likely to happen at this point is you may get a letter from you ISP, BFD, don't worry to much.

[shikon]

what about users that died from underexposure to other people and sunlight

[Nightshadow76]

These statistics go down well with me! :D

[Dalegas]

Most of file sharing programs users
talk english... :rolleyes:

[superblaat]

Yup that's the worst that could happen, having to pay the licenses for the stuff you have pirtated. These are usually the ppl tha are in SERIOUS violation (like LOADS of sharing, several gigs a day). Anyway it's hard to pin stuff on them. Fine is a wron word I think, beacuse it's a civil matter, you pay for the licenses, and then you're cool.

[Mocha]

For those of us who share files in the US, if by some very small chance the RIAA does find you, I would consider it an honor--and if you work the media correctly, it could launch a magnificent political career! If 200,000,000 are file sharing, think of the votes!
When "they" had the technology, they took us to the cleaners and there was nothing we could do about it. They got the gold, so now they can make the laws for themselves by corrupting the corrupt politicians. But now we got the technology on our side, so thank God (if you believe in it) and fuk'em! :rolleyes:

[SodiumChloride]

Of those 200,000,000 how many get bombarded by popup ads from original kazaa? Sharman networks must make a killing.

Props to the makers of K lite and www.lavasoft.de for getting rid of the spyware :P

[Grimlock]

I don't know about anyone else but I personally don't consider a $15,000 dollar fine to be small. And i believe that's a little more than just the money you owe them if you were just paying the original money you owed them would it even still be called a "fine"?

[Renegade720]

politics if you get subpoenaed? no way

[NotoriousBIC]

Number of people participating in filesharing: 200,000,000
Number of K-lite Members: 42,480
Number of filesharers died of cancer: 8100

(42,480/200,000,000)*8100 = 1.72 !!!

OH MY GOD!
Who was it? Which K-Lite member died of cancer?


























And who is going to die soon? only 28% to go :ph34r:

[Icey]

:o damm. hopfully not me :(

[NotoriousBIC]

No worries Icey, you're save.
I've heard that cancer cells die below 0 degrees Celsius :lol:

[Icey]

lol :lol:

[Kid1A]

Shit theirs a storm i need to hide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one's due

[internet.news]

your obviously right what concerns sharing - if you share your thoughts
and files of course openly with each other it could prevent violent and cirminal
acitons :)

a man and a woman who are angry and did not share their thoughts openly by talking with each other => this could probably lead to violent actions like killing
or beating each other :( ok, they are just humans, but it is better to share your thoughts openly to understand each other better also if it is difficult sometimes :)

~ Do you want to meet me? I am looking for people who uses Kazaa in my
area around nuremberg :) just to meet and exchange our thoughts and experience
have a nice walk or a bike tour :) ~

:blink: You post the same thing everytime, stop it, it doesn't even make much sense :wacko:

[H.H.]

So.... no holds barred, eh?

Anyway.... trying to stop people from exchanging files via p2p is like trying to stop an avalanche.... a futile effort....
So... whatever laws and restrictions the bureauctic baboons will think up.... the p2p community will allways be 1 step ahead.... so let's give those "bb's" a great BIG MIDDLE FINGER for their efforts!!!

Ciao!
H.H. ;)

[Phoenix_1]

I like those odds, but then again the file sharing thing is something we can prevent. However this fact isn't going to stop me :)

[qaz_rich_qaz]

if the stats are true, Kazaa should have a "cancer troubled filesharers" category instead of "Fileshares vs. Copyright Holders" category it would be so much more relavent... so why are we worried about the RIAA? .. you could be the next for cancer... :ph34r:

[clowntown]

I have ripped and recoded to mp3 one third of my cd collection to my hard drive ( I intend to do the lot) I have over 2500 cds which I paid on average 25 dollars aussie...do the sums.... I'll share them if I want to...go klite...go "CLOWNTOWN"

[benn19uk]

I have over 2500 cds which I paid on average 25 dollars aussie...

If they sue you, that would be an interesting statistic to bring up... The fact that you've spent AU$62,500 surely means any debt's to the RIAA have already been paid... They owe you... B)

[ubcstar]

How about the Number of Filesharers from RIAA

So, the temporary insanity defense then? :P

[fastrider28]

Man... I got a letter from my ISP... they warned me about sharing... I told them to .... off and reminded them that it would be illegal for them to review my usage as concurrent to the privacy rights of the US constitution and that if they were in some way monitoring my usage that I would soon be the new owner of their company.... I never heard anything fromm them again... I guess they forgot my number and email address? LOL Too bad... I was awaiting their reply

[internet.news]

That is another reason why I completey prefer sharing my thoughts
openly - it makes you less angry and more happy and as we know from
science studies, people who laugh more often probaby live better :)

-> We have to share our thoughts openly to udnerstand each other better.
... and if we understand each other better we would be less angry probably.

that is it ...

ok, ~nice dreams to everyone who read this...

and everybody else of course... obviously...

[internet.news]

You post the same thing everytime, stop it, it doesn't even make much sense

I mention it, cause it is one true part :) although it is hard sometimes and it is indeed :)

thks anyway, david.

And apparently 400 people in the uk alone die of smoking related diseases each day.

[darkmind]

1.72 ppl from klite are gonna die soon from cancer

what do you mean its not important? what if he just made it up? what if it IS true what the news says abou the number of people being prosecuted by the RIAA, then the message is a false message and the facts need to be listened to.

I say he should share his source, that way we will know that it is true, and have even more confidence in that the RIAA is just out to scare us (which it is though)

[Sh0x]

wow only 4 ppl hit by lightning i love those odds LOL B)

[Illuminati]

The numbers have obviously increased since the time of the post, but the ratio of numbers sued to numbers sharing is still neglible.
