wow this is so cool! about 3 weeks ago some psu student posted a message about selling the new incubus cd on cd-r's for ŭ (the one that hasn't come out yet). he stupididly used his psu email address, which is very easy to trace the address/phone number of. just to spite him for spamming the board, I reported him to the RIAA on their webpage. Today I just got this response: quote:
We have received your CDReward Submission Form, and your information has
been forwarded to the appropriate department for investigation. Assuming
all guidelines outlined at < http://www.cdreward.com/english/index.html > are
met, you will be considered for a reward up to Ū,000. Feel free to
contact us in the future in these matters of mutual concern.Sincerely, Brian White
Anti-Piracy Unit
RIAA
now I'm not exactly expecting to get that reward, but if I do, that will just rox0r so much! Hahahahaha! ----------------------------

And you aren't getting any money at all. quote:
2. The CD-R manufacturing location must have either: (1) a minimum of ten operating
CD burners; or (2) the equivalent output of at least ten CD burners, if the reproduction
equipment is something other than CD burners.

heh, always get blocked by the fine print.------------------
Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.

I think the guy was running atleast a few. Although I don't know for sure, if he gets caught I'll still get my reward. As I said though, I'm not expecting to get anything I think it's just cool that there is a minor possibility.

Just because the RIAA is dumb doesn't mean the guy didn't break the law. What he did was illegal. The moron deserves to be reported just for being enough of an idiot to try and pull that off.

no, he deserves to be caught for being stupid with it.------------------

The only reward you'd get is a thanks. and thats if the RIAA is even nice enough to give you a thanks

The fool should get smacked down for selling it at more than cost of media, and CK should get smacked down for being a narc (as if there weren't enough reasons already  )

Likely what will happen is the RIAA will start investigating you for being an associate with this dude, or something. Then, they'll shut you down, fine you ฟ for each song on your computer whether you own it or not, file a complaint under the DMCA, put you in jail, nail your girlfriend, make harrassing phone calls in the night to your mother, put you on the Columbia House mailing list, put a big picture of you on their website with a sign saying "America's Number 1 Narc!!!", and send you out on a date with Hilary Rosen.Good job Hope you get off easier than the dumbass.

Gotta love PSU's open (and very detailed) finger. Used it to call some of my friends in their dorm rooms. They were very pleasantly surprised.------------------

That was done at CMU a few years back where people with obvious or no passwords on folders sharing mp3s had their computer accounts temporarily suspended. A later editorial cartoon used the following dialog:"Guess we'll have to go back to pirating music the old-fashioned way." "Copying CDs with burners?" "Yep." ------------------

well, the IRS also holds you up by your ankles shaking you for change while they steal your underwear and every left footed sock... they also use your credit card numbers to call those porn hotlines... but at least they don't trash the house. *shrug*------------------
