Trust a Terabyte of Your Email to "Hellacious Riders".

Hellacious Riders - Hriders.com 1 TB email: This can't be legit.

Hriders.com gives unlimited free 1 Terabyte email accounts that include 500 Megabyte attachments.

We have been asked why we would do such a thing. The answer is simple to help people store large amounts of information in a safe and secure environment.

You gotta be careful in advertising this stuff, because Gmail advertised 1GB of storage, then The Screen Savers decided to test if that was true. Last I remember, the results weren't pretty.

MPAA Have Shit for Brains - Official!.

Sometimes we can all be forgiven for not learning from others' mistakes. Maybe we're not aware that the mistakes that have been made. Or perhaps we fail to notice the parallels.

But the similarities between the much publicised RIAA's largely unsuccessful actions and the ones just about to be embarked on my their retarded cousins over at their Motion Picture Academy of America are blindingly obvious.

Even if they succeed in closing down BitTorrent (unlikely as it has tons of legitimate uses), new ones will emerge Hydra-like somewhere else and be even more difficult to stop. Look at what happened with Napster.

These court actions are just the MPAA's anger response, which has followed years of denial that this would happen. The bargaining, depression and acceptance phases are coming soon.

What do you call a person who does exactly the same thing and expects a different result? "Optimistic to the point of stupidity" would be a kind way of answering the question. "Shit for brains" would be more honest.

When will these people realise that you can't stuff this cat back into the bag? They need to accept that the world's changing, deal with it and move on. But initiating a round of legal initiatives against their customers just can't make sense. "Don't sue customers" sits alongside with "try and make money" and "don't greet your customers in the nude" as being such obvious rules that they're not even mentioned in even the most basic business books.
