Slashdot | European Record Industry Goes After Personal Computers

[atek3]

What a bunch of lame ass looters, at least metallica pretends to take the
moral high ground.  These pieces of shit want to levy idiotic taxes because
"its simple"
Screw theses leftists.  Articles like this remind me to pray every night
that I don't wake up in the People's Republic of Europe.
Bleh,
Atek
