SB
What's most amazing to me thus far is that NO subpoenas have been issued to AOL/TIme Warner customers! I gotta talk to my son later and find the article he showed me with that info.
If you get a chance, go to the "Fresh Air" NPR website . Today there was an interview with a guy from the 'Clear Channel' radio network--that situation is unbelievably scary. Like George Clinton says "mind your wants 'cause someone wants your mind"

STUBASS - I had to laugh when you mentioned that you had never been to a swap meet.

When I visited my cousin in LA in 2001, we toured all over. Compton - South Central, Santa Monica Blvd., and all the other famous streets and blvds.. She even took me up in an area that rose high above some below streets to an area where she said families that had "Old Black Money" lived. LOL! They did live in some bad pads.

Amidst all of this - she showed me a place where they held "Swap Meets." She went on and on about them. She said that they were big in the LA area - and explained what they were about. I was like - and?

So - when you said that you'd never been to one - I had to laugh. Knowhatimean?

LTLFTC'S POST MADE A GREAT POINT:

Where are the subpoenas against the file sharers on AOL/Time Warner???????


We know that AOL and their internet software changes settings in their subscribers' computers to their "preferred defaults."

Why isn't the RIAA going after file swappers on AOL?????????

In New York instead of flea markets or swap meets we have stoop sales.

Daddy StuBass,

Sometimes you do have to stoop to look at the stuff for sale if they do not have it on a table. The term STOOP SALE refers to steps. In New York most people call the steps in the front of the house a STOOP.
