    Obama Sides with RIAA

    For years, the RIAA has claimed that having the IP address of a computer that has shared unauthorized files is the equivalent of having the evidence of who was actually sharing files. That, of course, is false. The IP address simply can help you know who paid for the internet access, but not who was using what computer on a network. In fact, this even had some people suggesting that, if you want to win a lawsuit from the RIAA, you're best off opening up your WiFi network to neighbors. It seems like this strategy might actually be working. Earlier this month the inability to prove who actually did the file sharing caused the RIAA to drop a case in Oklahoma and now it looks like the same defense has worked in a California case as well. In both cases, though, as soon as the RIAA realized the person was using this defense, they dropped the case, rather than lose it and set a precedent showing they really don't have the unequivocal evidence they claim they do. The RIAA certainly has the legal right to go after people, even if it simply ends up pissing off their best fans and driving people to spend their money on other forms of entertainment -- but, if they want to do so, they should at least have legitimate evidence. It's good to see that some are finally pointing out how flimsy the evidence really is.

    Weekend Box Office Report March 27-29

    Ah I was reading wrong. Yeah so 12 rounds is pretty much a money earning disaster.

    Weekend Box Office Report March 27-29

    You're kidding right? Look at the totals of Witch Mountain......it's done a WHOLE lot better than 12 Rounds. Didn't The Marine make like 8 million or so the first weekend it was out? And I recalled it being in the top three the first week. Compare that to a number seven here, and most certainly, 12 Rounds bombed. There is no way to slice it otherwise really. I would imagine Taken will finally leave the top ten next week. Quite a run there. Maybe I am reading the various numbers wrong.

    How does it deal with doink the clown? Does it mention several people played him?

    Weekend Box Office Report March 27-29

    I would hardly agree with the title that it bombed. Making the top 10 is good. Actually The Rocks new film didn't a whole lot better.

    National Security & Defense

    i don't have much to add to the thread because i'm so late into the conversation, but that's utter bullshit, by the way. recruiting has never been higher, and if you talk to nearly anyone out there, morale is fine. You can attribute some of this to enlisting in the armed services as a recession/depression (please don't let this get to the latter) - proof job. Yes morale is high, but that's the logical consequence of having a volunteer-only Army/Navy/whatever. Again, I want the draft to be re-institututed and I felt that way before I started the enlistment process for myself. As far as geopolitics go, China's the big one, with Russia being the smaller one. Both must be monitored. The next new American military action that I foresee will actually be in East Africa (yes, again), in Sudan this time. I agree that the Chinese goverment must be monitored. There is a but though, our goverment is not ideal nor it is exactly corrupt though. They do many good things, it's just they sometimes do some really, really stupid things.

    Chris Jericho, I just don't know what to make of him

    See now, that's not cool. Just having a laugh at his expense. I don't really think that way. I just hate when people call somebody stupid.

    Yeah, sorry lady, you're stupid but not for your use of English. No offence taken mate. You're stupid also. Most Jericho fans are.

    Ask Leena thread.

    I am new so I don't have any concerns of course. The only question would be are you going to change anything? I joined the board after several days of looking around because I liked the way it is.
