<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>...bastard Justice Dept. made my stock fall for 6 straight months. Then the RIAA has to go and take away a good source of music for millions of people. I hope they get bent over like a $10 hooker and fucked straight in the ass.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>Only way I can think of would have been for the RIAA and such to embrace mp3's when they started instead of shunning them and fighting. They coulda made money right off the bat by selling the mp3 version of songs for like $1 each online. Or even stream it to them for free so they can listen to it.

But.. too late now</div>
