    I don't get it. Maybe because I'm tired but what did that guy they interviewed do? Illegal hosting?

    I think that the bloke interviewed was a cabbie with the same name as the guy who owns the site, and was interviewed with the BBC thinking he was the guy who owned the site. Not really that funny...

    Actually, for a man with no experience in that field he managed to say the same bullshit I'd expect from a pro.

    ..

    This minimum amount of characters per post has to go, what a shit idea... No mods out there agree? Characters inside quotes aren't counted, it means I can't reply with a simple 'yes' or 'no'. It doesn't stop spammers becuase thay can just mash keys.

    Hmmm perhaps Paulo, thought the whole deal was funny, and we couldn´t really get the humour of it. But well at least somebody thought it was quite funny. I just thought it was quite RIAA boring, and supportive to them.

    That is kind of funny. The look on his face... classic. If he doesn't get the job, he should sue the BBC. He did fantastic, all things considered.

    I loved the look on his face when they announced who they were interviewing and what their profession supposedly was.


    Someone should totally make a .gif of that with some witty text under it. Like... "$599!?" or something. [​IMG]

    It's the classic Apple Computers vs Apple Records. Back when Apple Computers first started they had a contract with Apple Records to be able to use "Apple" as long as they never ( ever ever ) went into the music industry.

    Enter iTunes and Apple Computers decided that there was just too much money involved to keep their side of the contract.

    Apple Computers won, somehow. Nothing to do with mp3 distribution.
