Instead of just ignoring that; be nice about it or even answer his comment you have now polluted HN with a page of stupid discussion.
For the record I don't mind (nor do I think anybody else outside of a tiny but very trigger happy minority) people calling them MAFIAA -- it is shorter than the Recording and Movie Industry Association Of America, is arguably more accurate (RIAA isn't really producing that many vinyl records anymore, but they are suing grandmothers and there are plenty of companies who send out letters threating huge fines if they aren't settled for less than a lawyer cost) and honestly people should be free to express their opinion.
Do you also object to RIAA calling people who infringe copyright pirates? Because if not, you are enforcing a double standard.
