I don't think I will be calling the RIAA anytime soon to admit my guilt.



WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 — The recording industry is expected to announce as early as next week an amnesty program for people who admit they illegally share music files across the Internet, promising not to sue them in exchange for their admission and pledge to delete the songs off their computers.

THE OFFER OF AMNESTY will not apply to the roughly 1,600 people who already have been targets of copyright subpoenas from the Recording Industry Association of America, which has promised to file hundreds of infringement lawsuits across the country as early as next week.

1. I say let the assclowns go broke filing all these lawsuits

It's not like they'll collect in the majority of cases. People should be able to recognize scare tactics when they see them. Sadly, most people are gullible....

2. Yeah I am going to be doing that

Sure.
