There is gonna be a fuckin' revolt if they keep this shit up. Honestly, what's the point? They can try to make examples of people all they want - nobody really cares, and everyone knows that some other file sharing site will just replace it. Should really be spending people's tax dollars on crimes worth fighting - crimes people actually want fought.

Down with the record companies! Because of oink i have given so much money to bands for shows. They see like 2 dollars of every cd sold in a store. These greedy record companies are disgusting.

Are they seriously going to try and arrest users? I mean 180,000 members is alot of people to put behind bars for sharing music and most of them probably aren't even 18.
