Pay now or later

The RIAA has launched a website, p2plawsuits.com, so that people can settle their piracy suits in a quick and convenient e-commerce transaction, complete with a discount over the chumps that actually thought that going to court could save them. The appropriate metaphor, in case you're wondering, would be a handy web system allowing muggers to schedule appointments with their victims, thus turning untidy violence and crime into a slick, commercial service.

Fantastic. The American dream of drive-through exploitation is finally upon us.
