Finally an end to this madness. The recording industry has harrassed music downloaders and scared them into settling out of court for too long.

That's hilarious that just a couple of months ago Canada outlawed copyrighted downloads....behind the times a little up here i think. Outlawing it when it's becoming more accepted by the ptb's hhahaha. I hope it's the same with movies. There have been many movies i've bought that if i hadn't watched online for free i never would't bought them.
