    I wish I was kidding.

    75 trillion is around the estimated GDP of THE WORLD.

    Discuss/Lol.

    Haha, wow.
    I first read "13 trillion", and that was already a ridiculous sum. But 75 trillion.

    The judge in this case is aware that it is "absurd".

    And I thought P Diddy getting sued for 1 trillion was overkill.

    Just like every other case brought by the RIAA/MPAA, the demands are completely unrealistic.

    Personally, I think this whole piracy laws thing is bullshit.
    If a company wants to make a copyright claim they should do it themselves in a small court.
    These big jew firms after all this money are pathetic.

    That's exactly the problem. The RIAA/MPAA take the case to court, win a huge amount of damages then most of the money goes to the RIAA/MPAA NOT the copyright holder. If the copyright holder took the case to civil court themselves, admittedly the awards would be smaller, but it would all (minus legal fees) go to the copyright holder. The RIAA/MPAA are not 'standing up for the rights of copyright holders' as they would have everyone believe, but rather they are making themselves rich through career litigation at the expense of the very people they claim to be protecting.

    Limewire shouldn't be responsible for what users choose to upload to their program. They even ask you when you install it: "are you using it for illegal reasons?" And if you say yes, it wont let you go forward. What ever happened to "people are responsible for their own actions". I guess the law just uses it to manipulate people :/
    If this is the case, why not ban computers in general? There is nothing different (functionality) about peer sharing programs and pcs ^_^
