I wolf-whistle-cheer RIAA getting the bird. Now I can confidently broadcast my birdfeeders without interruption from RIAA's jeers and cat calls of me running a fowl before the bird has flown. Only worry is the hummingbirds. Dagburne- dadblame rare birds' tune gets stuck in me head and I can't shake it to hear the Yardbirds. RIAA wanted to charge me for "Freebird" and I'm not just whistling "Dixie" here! Really ruffles me feathers and cooks my goose to hear them put the squeeze on me for being tempted by the fruit of another...

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now, 
And this bird you can not charge. 
Lord knows, I can't change

Does making an offer equate to creating the torrent or posting a link to said torrent? Confused?




"Making an offer to distribute" is still classed as illegal. Well im afraid that from now on the RIAA will just saying that by allowing your files to be shared over a p2p service you are thereby making that offer, even if you have not contacted somebody directly to offer the files. You are still allowing the files to be accessed by a service that facilities file sharing. So all this does is stop those folk from having an unsecured shared folder being caught out.

Ho Hum...
