The RIAA commenting on what’s fair is like Osama Bin Laden commenting on mercy.

The problem is we don’t know if the execs of any company are good or bad, remember Enron? Companies are obviously good and bad, and since we obviously cannot tell which is which, they’ll just all have to be shut down. Oh and governments too. Same reasons obviously. Oh, and people. There are bad people out there too, so we’ll all have to die to ensure there are no bad people. Pity.

“Perhaps they should lear no speak first.”

Irony.

“- Their have been incidences where record companies have taken advantage of artists (and customers good faith) there fore since we cannot know which are good record companies and which are bad, they should all be disbanded and the execs thrown in jail? ”
I would sleep much better at night if this happened.

“The difference between hacking done for non-infringing purposes and hacking done to steal is impossible to determine and enforce,”

What is that about enforcing a difference?

Perhaps they should lear no speak first.

‘”The difference between hacking done for non-infringing purposes and hacking done to steal is impossible to determine and enforce,” the IDG News Service has the RIAA declaring.’

-hmmm, so following the RIAA logic, all guns should be banned because we cannot determine which would be used for good or bad? All medical drugs should be banned no matter how helpful they are, as we cannot tell if they are going to be used for good or bad? All vehicles should be taken off the road as they could be used in a crime? All tax laws should be revised so there are no more deductions as they may be abused? All politicians should be charged as they may be dirty or chasing pages.

- Their have been incidences where record companies have taken advantage of artists (and customers good faith) there fore since we cannot know which are good record companies and which are bad, they should all be disbanded and the execs thrown in jail?

I’d hate to live in the *IAA’s world where large companies are seen as doing good, as opposed to doing whatever it takes to make a buck. The only time they ‘do good’ is when they think it necessary for public relations (or to get out of paying taxes, tough the public relations still applies as well). Of course in the *IAA’s world the ordinary people ae just there to feed money to the *IAA’s.
