That's extremely brave, I wouldn't want to take on the M.A.F.I.A.A.. that's right, mafiaa. The R.I.A.A combined with the M.P.A.A forming
" Music And Film Industry Association of America.."
Nah, i'm serious - http://www.mafiaa.org/
You couldn't make it up..

I support them whole heartedly. I think its unfortunate that they will probably lose. Considering whatever outcome might arise, corporate deep pockets will appeal or find new grounds to sue. This will drag on so long that streamcast will be forced to settle or be driven from the market.
I think I could survive a year without purchasing a movie, going to a movie, or buying a new CD, but could "they". I know that sounds radical, but until the masses speak, this will continue. In the end, their bottom line is dependent on the consumer. It seems they have forgotton.

Lol good thing they added the "America" part, though to be honest a US copyright policy is a world policy from what I've seen. The United States of World domination could seize my computer many thousands of miles away if they wanted.
Anyone brave enough to put P2P vs the Mafia gets my vote.
Good luck!

Q: What has Hitler and the MPAA got in common?
A: If Hitler had done the job properly there wouldn't be any MPAA left.

MAFIAA has been around longer than just since 1 April 2006.
It's not an April Fool's day joke at all. It's just a semi-parody rephrazing the true aims of the MAFIAA.

Oh absolutely. I didn't even know it had anything to do with April 1st.

I want them to win; but they need help. If these companies would form their own front, for countersuits, etc. The public's freedom to share might be protected. This kind of suit is ridiculous. They aren't just striking at illegal downloads, they are striking at all sharing, without regard to legality. This needs to end.

If Streamcast had a PayPal button to donate $5 to their legal fees....
