THE RIAA OBVIOUSLY PLAYS NO GAMES...

Two years ago, Jamie Thomas-Rasset went to trial and was ordered to pay $222,000 by a different jury for pirating 24 songs. The judge in the first case declared a mistrial because of some juror mistake. Instead of settling like the 30,000-plus others the RIAA has sued or threatened to sue for copyright infringement, Thomas-Rasset opted for a new trial . In the previous trial, she testified a file-sharing hack or crack hijacked her WiFi connection, even though she didn’t have a WiFi router. This time, she testified that her children might have used her computer to file share on Kazaa. The new Minneapolis jury didn’t buy her latest version of events and she was found guilty and fined $80,000 a track (1.9 MILLIE) Under the Copyright Act, juries can award damages of up to $150,000 per pilfered track. About $3,500 is the average payment in the thousands of RIAA cases that settled out of court.

KNOW YOUR RANK: 5 WAYS TO TELL IF YOU’RE A JUMP OFF

Ladies, we know times are hard and with all the down low, incarcerated, taken, and trifling brothers the sad reality is that nine times out of ten the aggins worth having are having you, your friend, and hers. If you’re in a situation where “your” man in just a little bit of everything, you gotta know if you wifey or merely a jump off, cause some of yall are either too oblivious to realize he’s playing you or refuse to acknowledge that you’re getting played.

1) If you have never been to his house

Now this should be a blatant sign that he does not hold whatever yall have in high regards if you have never seen what his house looks like. Probably because he has a wife and a couple of kids…next!

2) You have never met his friends or family

Any female a man is interested in wifing up will meet the boys, if she passes with them, she’ll get introduced to his mama. Now if you cannot even name one of his friends, well we digress…

3) Y’all have never been out on a date; and if yall have, it’s a late night movie in the next city over, where none of his people frequent.

I know you’re saying “Na uh, the only reason Ray-Ray and I ain’t been on a proper date is because he works 2 jobs, he be tired!” Babygirl yall been dating for three months and the most you’ve gotten is some sub-par Chinese takeout and a red box flick? COME ON!!!!!

4) He only hits you up between 2-4 am

I don’t even have to explain this one, these are prime booty call hours! When he calls and texts you during this time he only wants one thing and it’s not to see how your day went… and last but certainly not least…

5) He doesn’t linger after yall do the do

If after he gets his (more often than not he could care less if you got yours) he’s hopping out of your bed as if his ass was on fire…it’s time you found you somebody else boo…
