Let’s clear this up. Only those who were SHARING have been sued. Regardless if their collection was ‘downloaded’, ripped from their own CDs, or borrowed. Doesn’t matter HOW you get your media. ONLY SHARING can get you sued. SHARING is the issue. Downloading without sharing music(ie. leeching) is 100% safe, and I offer anyone to challenge that. So don’t let the media or RIAA brainwash you. We all know if no one shares, blah blah blah. Yes, I understand leeching is bad, however that’s a totally different topic. But as it stands, DOWNLOADING, Borrowing CDs, Copying, etc. IS 100% SAFE! It’s the SHARING that will get’cha. Any Comments?

Wrong. The only clear message they’re sending is that they’re complete assholes who don’t give a shit about artists, consumers, or anyone or anything but themselves and padding their own pockets.

“If I was downloading this trash and burning cd’s and selling them at the flea market, I could maybe see your point. As for the creative future of music, I would not care at all if the future of Rap music or most of the pop bullshit out there was on the line or even had no future at all.”

Very well said.

The RIAA lawyers kids will profit the most at this point. They will be driving the Porsches their Mommy’s and Daddy’s bought them that were paid for by sueing college kids.

Here is my clear message. Most music/musicians I listen to do not participate in RIAA swindles. Here is a list of who I DON’T buy music from. http://www.boycott-riaa.com/membership
