Is this a case of it takes a thief to catch a thief?

While each is entitled to his own opinion, no one is entitled to his own facts.

Bravo! Luv the article!

You can imagine my surprise when I woke up Saturday and checked my email, I guess I should have had popcorn instead of coffee. Torrentfreak daily email had me cracking up and the OMGs were flying!

Did you see where the RIAA had downloaded 5 seasons of Dexter? I tweeted to them not to miss the season 6 finale Sunday night, not sure if they got my message

I wonder what kind of stuff VP Joe Biden downloads late at night? On second thought... maybe I dont want to know

The RIAA Pirated $9 Million Worth of TV Shows

The same RIAA that makes examples out of ordinary folks by suing them for millions of dollars for file sharing? Turns out someone there's been pirating full seasons of Dexter. Nine million dollars worth. Whoops!

That number—$150,000 for each of the 60 episodes illegally downloaded on the RIAA HQ ISP (OK?)—comes compliments of YouHaveDownloaded.com which logged the BitTorrent activity of some 50 million users and revealed that not only are the major movie studios pirating their own movies, but the RIAA is downloading pirated TV shows. Lots of 'em.
