    I remember when Moore first announced this and he brought out those downloading teens and showed us his mp3 player and said that everything we all do will become legal now.

    Wohoo! Let the ripping and sharing begin!

    Mr Sookman,
    Thank you for for all the hard work you have put into your site. I can’t wait for all of our everyday activities to be legalized by this new copyright law, can you?
