This is very very bad news.
Also laugh: The songs are apparnently worth approx $9000 EACH.
And the whole "Ripping music to your HDD/Mp3 player is stealing mmmkay, buy another CD to do it".
Lollertastic.

Well, fuck it. If it's illegal to rip your own CDs we might as well all just steal music in the first place and do away with the CD purchasing.

Drink tea and listen to crap radio still?
The only reason they went after Kwik-Fit is because they're a fuckoff huge chain.
I suspect they'd never try something like that against individuals or small companies as the profit would be minimal

I can quite often hear gigs and concerts when they're being performed at Old Trafford (which is practically on my doorstep) - I wonder if they'll be charging me for listening to the music?

I've stayed in the hotel next-door to there a few times when we've been to visit Salford University. Perhaps I've even drank in your local or been sick in your front garden.

Alas I have no garden.
Don't why alas. I'm far too fucking lazy to do anything with one. Best I have is a balcony (mossy) with a panoramic view of the football and cricket grounds
and the local scally bastard youths
