And these companies wonder why people are apathetic about pirating stuff off the internet.

EDIT: I mistitled it, cause the guy isn't actually being sued. Gah, I need to title things more carefully.

Reading that just made my brain bleed. Does Viacom really think they have a case? Ah screw it I am going to go download some more illegal sh**! F*** the system!

Thats ridiculous

Viacom's getting pretty tight-assed lately.

 

[Mr. Credible]

ugh.

Viacom is one of the worst about this sort of thing. It's a wonder they haven't been hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit for the crap they pull off the 'net, other people's creative works, to use for their own profit and gain.
