RIAA Changing Tactics? no more lawsuits

If I remember correctly, Sass didn't even realize she had gotten a DMCA notice in her e-mail until two months after the fact.

No, they're going to send a cease and desist. And if you don't offer any viable defense and continue with the action, they'll assume guilt.

Different.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Except now they don't look like devils suing 13 year old little girls for listening to Britney Spears. Now your ISP just quietly shuts off your service.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If it was a Bruins game, this is not a desire, or a whim, or even something as simple as a need. It is AIR. Necessary. Fuck the man, rave the empire.

Go black and gold.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If I was really accurately quoting, it would have been Damn the man, Save the Empire.

Funny anecdote. In the movie Can't Hardly Wait, which came out before Empire Records, there is a scene wherein Ethan Embry walks down a flight of stairs towards a girl (Jennifer Love Hewitt) to Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet. It is mirrored almost exactly in Empire Records by Marc, also played by Ethan Embry.

Weird.
