From the article: The MPA would target "very big sites that people would think are legitimate and very, very popular", Mr Keiser said. Looks like it's not time for the lrcdb site owner to get "lawyered up", at least not yet. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

How long before RIAA and similar lowlife goes after those who steal their daily bread by whistling in their bathrooms? _________________________ Dragi "Bonzi" Raos Q#5196 MkII #080000376, 18GB green MkIIa #040103247, 60GB blue

Yeah, conspicuously absent from the BBC report was anyone saying "but I don't make any money out of this". Now granted, that's not a defence in law against copyright violation (IMO it should be), but it's such a good moral defence that you'd think someone would mention it if they were in fact not making any money out of it.

Not to mention the mis-heard lyrics and attrocious spelling and punctuation.
