The forum has been 'dis-infected'!

[admin]

Yes, it isn't your eyes playing tricks on you. The forum has been cleansed. After almost a year of battling with spam bots, the RC forum was more spam and dick-enlargements than biker forum.

The bad part:
Everything has been erased.

The good part:
The spam has been erased as well as some more stringent mods for the registration process that should keep this place a bit cleaner.

Hopefully we can revive the RC forum to some of its former glory.

Cheers,

Jammie Thomas-Rasset's case was the first such copyright infringement case to go to trial in the United States, her attorney said. world of warcraft gold

Attorney Joe Sibley said that his client was shocked at the fine, noting that the price tag on the songs she downloaded was 99 cents.

Cara Duckworth, a spokeswoman for the Recording Industry Association of America, said the association was "pleased that the jury agreed with the evidence and found the defendant liable."

Thomas-Rasset downloaded work by artists such as No Doubt, Linkin Park, Gloria Estefan and Sheryl Crow.

This was the second trial for Thomas-Rasset. The judge ordered a retrial in 2007 after there was an error in the wording of jury instructions.

The fines jumped considerably from the first trial, which granted just $220,000 to the recording companies.

Thomas-Rasset is married with four children and works for an Indian tribe in Minnesota.
