Rumor has it that the RIAA is plotting to steal from anyone who has ever illegally downloaded music a single hour of sleep early Sunday morning. Adjust your clocks accordingly.

Not me, I run peer defender with the latest blocklists, and only get my torrents from super secret grey over under darknets.
I simply have to be safe
So does that mean we’re even with riaa?
@yasth: that’s what i came into here to say.
Unless you’re in Indiana.
Can’t I just settle first and agree to only 15 minutes in exchange for $3,000?
OK show of hands here.
Who thinks the sentence as originally written:
Rumor has it that the RIAA is plotting to steal from anyone who has ever illegally downloaded music a single hour of sleep early Sunday morning.
is easier to parse than my version:
Rumor has it that early Sunday morning the RIAA is plotting to steal a single hour of sleep from anyone who has ever illegally downloaded music.
I’m just saying….
@BrianH: wait, riaa is stealing from people who dl’d an hour of sleep?
Reminder to my friends at the Consumerist: Did you prep the Gawker lawyers for a possible libel suit? We’re talking about the litigation happy, the oh-so-righteous RIAA, y’know
Thanks for the heads up! All my clocks are prepped for Daylight Saving Time.
Ugh, it’s not stealing it’s temporal infringement!
I hate daylight saving time, because the depression from losing an hour of sleep always outweighs the joy of gaining an hour of sleep.
@azntg: If Hustler Magazine can beat Fallwell, they might have a case.
Which is not to say they wouldn’t try. IANAL, and YMMV.
LOL!!!!
@Jaysyn: Or Arizona…
@Jaysyn: Or Hawaii.
@BrianH: Yeah, I notice poor sentence structure in Consumerists posts sometimes…but hey, it’s the weekend and it’s late.
I’m digging the title of this web page that comes up on the top of the browser… “Replace Your Smoke Detector Batteries”
Oddly enough they again dont touch us over in china… no daylights anything, no hassle from the **AA folks when we download anything…
@Jaysyn: I hope you don’t actually live in Indiana cause you might be in for a surprise…
@KernelM: That you can leave anytime you want to?
@Kernel: I live in Indiana.. what kind of suprise will we be in for?
And, I’m suing you consumerist. You’re accusing me of stealing. I’m going to sue you using your tips and win all your moneyz.
man, someone should send out a memo about this crap. I totally forgot. d’oh.
oh, I guess this kind of was a memo, albeit a really piss poor one (I had to go in and read the comments to figure it out). but, still, thanks, consumerist!
Apparently, Verizon Wireless did not get the memo. My cell phone reads 10:27 am EST!
i still have my hour, what is everyone bitching about?
@nequam: You need to reboot your phone.
@cuiusquemodi: Was supposed to be a more lighter, humorous comment, but okay. WFYB.
@cde: It updated without a reboot at about noon.
@cde: Mine updated as soon as I made a call. Smart phone, my arse!
Karma’s a bitch.
@levenhopper: I was beginning to think I was the only one who noticed.
@skitzogreg: I think Karma would have a Doberman if it owned a dog.
@cuiusquemodi: Not coincidentally, I’m fairly certain the RIAA may be involved with Campari and drunken outhouse encounters as well…
@BrianH: less cross-eyed now.
