jmweirick	Date: August 21, 2003 @ 6:29 PM technically it wasn't the government that sued so it is still a free country, to not allow the mpaa to sue xmule would be removing there freedom. but to also remove xmules right to defend would be removing their freedom also. so it's a very free country!
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 21, 2003 @ 9:58 PM free country? weird, when nothing in life is free....
TameasDust	Date: August 22, 2003 @ 8:11 AM the more rules you have the more free you are.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 22, 2003 @ 3:11 PM so is freedom just another set of rules?
JFF	Date: August 22, 2003 @ 3:24 PM nothing in this country is free, they'd tax the air if they could
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 22, 2003 @ 6:16 PM and seing as rules can be broken, so can freedom and the desire for it, like a chain on a convict's leg, or a domesticated animal... then what is free? :shrug:" id="59563">freedom of speech, watch the red tape and lawyers' bills fly... freedom of choice... when the choice is so small... freedom of movement... when they attach concrete boots... freedom to complain... when you're staring down a barrel that can wipe out a family in moments and is ok cos some long dead law maker said so... taxes nearly everything. once the air's been destroyed all these purification plants will mysteriously appear and another "tax" will indeed come about... and seing as rules can be broken, so can freedom and the desire for it, like a chain on a convict's leg, or a domesticated animal... then what is free?
SinisterX	Date: August 22, 2003 @ 7:33 PM I'm still trying to figureout why we broke free from England and became America? Free???? It's run by theives now who want to get rich by suing eveything they possibly can. Chillin's got it right. The rich feed off the poor.
acousticplayer	Date: August 22, 2003 @ 8:52 PM nothing is free indeed...unfortunately. Personally I would be honored to have my songs available to download; as long as they are copyrighted to my band. Plus I can only see this as helping mainstream bands...you hear a song that you download, you like it, so you buy the whole album and pass the news to somebody else. Why the RCAA has a stick up their ass...guess they have a fetish for suiing people.
francechic	Date: September 7, 2003 @ 6:32 PM hehe, tell me about it, france has alot more freedom than america does. i dont think this country is any better than north korea
francechic	Date: September 7, 2003 @ 6:32 PM and bush is no better than nixon
Expose	Date: September 7, 2003 @ 7:43 PM How the hell did JFK get assasined, and Bush not? That confuses me.
invocati	Date: September 7, 2003 @ 8:55 PM also.Capitolism can work but strick laws should go along with it." id="61637">Just wait to see what turns out of all this suing ...There might be a middle of the road where everyone can agree...I totally disagree with you francechic.. North Korea is one of the worse perversions of justice on the face of the planet...America is far from that...We Are more spoiled than you think in the U.S.A. ... The only major problem I see in this govt is the lobbyist asking for support for there cause and buying the govt's Support with campaign contributions to certain politicians and putting money in the corporate interests of major politicians also.Capitolism can work but strick laws should go along with it.
