What the RIAA is doing is downright FASCIST, anti-democratic, and NAZI. You are no longer in a democracy if you are personally hunted down this way. Noone has the right to invade your privacy except for authorities with a proper warrant. So how come these criminals are allowed to break several major laws with no consequences to them as well??? ONE THING is infringing copyright for COMMERCIAL purposes, seeking money on something you don't own and didn't invest money on making. I side with the companies on that point. HOWEVER, another thing is NON-PROFIT sharing of COPIES of said content. It's not even the original content we are talking about here!! We are talking about files (of lesser quality) created based on - but are NOT THE ORIGINAL CONTENT and which seek no commercial profit. There should be limits to copyrights and what companies can actually do. This current absolutist regime where now common people who BUY THE PRODUCTS are being hunted down indiscriminately as well and extorted for more money for doing something tens of millions of people do all over the world simply should have no place in a DEMOCRACY! THE PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS TOO! What i don’t understand is how there isn’t enough fuss from our government against the RIAA. What the RIAA is doing is downright FASCIST, anti-democratic, and NAZI.

Ya. But who are actually controling the RIAA? Who are the bunch of stupid neocons who decided to conduct this criminal and fascist extortion campaign against the music customers? Response: Vivendi Universal (France) Main Instigator. Sony/BMG (Japan/Germany) Agree and assisted with the all thing. EMI (Britain) Luke warm to the idea but still going along with it. Time Warner was and is Reluctant but did nothing to stop it. The others members did nothing to stop them. Granted they probably had no saying in it but at least they should have quit the RIAA This is why people are boycotting them as well. Those who want to escape the Boycott must leave the RIAA, the BPI the CRIA and the like immediatly! Those who are not members but yet got hit by the boycott we are sorry about this but there is no war without colateral damage. At least keep claiming very loud and very clear that YOU ARE NOT a member of the RIAA and that you oppose their criminal activity. And by the way it is time for the RIAA to stop misrepresenting itself as of "AMERICA" Since almost none of their members are of Amerca. Their most influant members are actually foreign parasites who have no place in our American society. Keep the Boycott ON! II IS WORKING! THEY ARE DYING! “It is time that you ceased mis-representing the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as being “owned” by four of its members.”

"Yesterday, p2pnet ran the first post on the fact the RIAA had actually paid up to the tune of almost $180,000." "A Judge ultimately ruled that the RIAA had to pay the woman’s court fees of $107,951." Is it 180,000 or 108,000?

Separate companies. Right? Nope. They’re part and parcel of the Big 4. I did a by no means exhaustive search to see who owned them and here’s what I found: * Arista is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony BMG * Atlantic is owned by the Warner Music Group * BMG is the German half of the Sony BMG partnership * Capitol is owned by EMI * Elektra is owned by the Warner Music Group * Interscope is owned by Vivendi’s Universal Music Group * Lava is owned by owned by Warner Music Group * Loud is owned by UMG * Priority Records is owned by EMI * Maverick is owned by the Warner Music Group * Motown Priority is owned by Vivendi’s Universal Music Group * SONY is the Japanese half of the Sony BMG partnership * UMG is Vivendi’s Universal Music Group * Virgin Music is owned by EMI * Warner Music Group is Warner Music Cheers!
