Oh, that's right - hanging 16 year olds for downloading the same music the Republicans are "pirating" and using for profit. At least the "napster group" didn't make money on their pirating, which evidently is ok with the RIAA so long as you're a Republican.

Somebody please explain why it's crime as a common American to dl or even buy Tyler's song and play it (without copyright owner's consent) for profit yet just fine with the RIAA when politicians or corporations do it.

Kids have been fined thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing what Sump Trump and Cat Scatch Huckabee and other law ignoring Republicans have done and are doing.
