Easyeverything, the chain of internet cafes, was found guilty of internet piracy after allowing customers to copy music onto CD's. They were found guilty of copyright infringements by letting customers download music and burn off their CD's.

Sony, Universal and EMI are seeking £1 million in damages. Inverstigators found that hundreds of tracks had been downloaded without permission of artists or record companies.

I mean, copying music over the net is no different to videotaping a programme to watch later which is legal, isn't it?

My favorite was the guy who travelled to Columbia and bought 15 very very high quality cigars for $1000 each.

When he got them home he insured them with an insurance company, only to make a claim a few months later saying they had all perished in '15 small fires'.

The insurance company paid up, only to counter sue the guy with 15 counts of destruntion on property by arson.

He is currently serving 4-6 years in a state penitentiary.

Nice.

Sad for the usual reasons

The happy is because i figured all of these shakey social constraint rules they keep pouring on are to do with limiting Joe Ordinary but allowing Jonny Rightstuff cos he has got lots of ca$h
