RIAA stops filing lawsuits

Hey guys,

I just came from my favorite news blog. You are going to be really happy after hearing this, or NOT. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) had decided to stop filing lawsuits against illegal music downloaders. However, they (RIAA) turned our Internet Service Provider (ISP) into music-downloading police. Whenever we download a song illegally, the RIAA will report our IP address to our ISP, then our ISP will notice us about our copyright infringement activities. If we still do not adhere to the notice, the ISP will shut our internet connection down.

In my opinion, I think this is worse. Because, sending notices is easier than battling in court, for the RIAA. Therefore, our odds are higher for getting notices instead of chances of getting into lawsuits, which is 1 in approximately 10800 people (from my English 3 class research).

Here’s the full read.

sixth day of my vacation

Hi.. First off, i’m feeling very juicy here. lol i’m so watching over everyone’s msn and hi5 status about their finals and laughing out loud about it. Today is the sixth day of my winter recess. For the past five days, I’ve been so-called-jet-lagging; meaning I sleep and wake up accordingly to Cambodia time. Most of the daily working hours, I’m asleep. Thus, I did not go out at all. :)

Anyway, today even though I woke up at 4PM, again, I got to spend five hours at the Borders book store. I always head to the Reference section of a bookstore and rotate my head looking for most recent interested topics, ASP.NET Development, SEO Checklist, to name a few. However, next to the Reference section, there goes Business section.

With my head 90 degree right-tilted, I took out two interesting titles and began reading. One is Click: What Millions of People Are Doing Online and Why it Matters. I read about 100 pages, the second half of the book, thus ultimately I ended up not taking it home. The second book, which I bought, is called epreneur: From Wall Street to Wiki: Succeeding as a Crowdpreneur in the New Virtual Marketplace. I suggest these titles if you want to be an Internet Entrepreneur, or just want to extend your knowledge into the Internet field.

Books’ covers:

(by clicking it, you will go to each book’s table of contents)

I think I will start on my newly purchased book, rather than the Twilight saga series. I bought the first Twilight saga book like a month ago and so far just finished 30 pages. As I recalled from my Engineering Ethics professor last lecture’s advice: ” … don’t read romance books, vampire stories. They are bad stuffs.” HAHA I don’t think so, it’s just boring.

The point is: today’s activities eat up my guilt in the past five days. xDxD

I think Christmas season arrives. This year, like no other years, I want to spend christmas time mostly alone reading books, dealing with self-commitment plans and working on a project. Looking back to just last year, I was someone who just cares about his presence in some girls’ heart.  This is going to be really lame if I go on. :lol:

I’ll call that a post.
