If we haven't IDed you, you can ID yourself, and we promise not to sue you for PAST infringement (which we're not going to do anyway because we haven't IDed you), but we'll check up on you now and then in the future to make sure you're still clean.

If we HAVE IDed you, you're still screwed.

The great thing about this is that we get to look merciful without making any changes in our litigation plans.

Remember, The RIAA is watching you.

It is more then you could possibly comprehend with 100% of your brain.

BEEP.

yes, this is total shenanigans, and i have my doubts that anyone will do this. please sign me up to be monitored for activities i may or may not have committed or ever commit -- i like that plan. while we're at it, call up homeland security... it's entirely possible i'm a terrorist also.
