After all they’ve done to rob, cheat and steal from consumers and then go on to bully consumers with legal threats (which actually have a weak basis and are being done more to terrorize people than anything else.)..

It’s hard to see why ANYONE still buys music from RIAA labels and artists. I’d rather boycott their music and all artists who go through them COMPLETELY…

After all.. we’ll hear that crap whenever we turn on mainstream radio… as they’ve plagued the airwaves with their crap through (unsuprisingly..) anti-competitive practices.

That’s the problem with America… corporate criminal shitheads are the one’s bastardizing the law for their own benefits (ie. profit). It’s okay for them to bend the rules beyond recognition.. but the minute we do something that DOESN’T give them profit… it’s time to re-write the law.

F**K the RIAA, for they are nothing but greedy scum.

Less and less am I inclined to ever return to buying music from the major labels again. Every time I read something they are proud of and trumpting about as the latest triumph, it always leaves me feeling dirty and unwashed that such could happen.

After decades of established user conditions, now with the change to digital they want to set copyright back to the 1800’s. I for one will never support these methods and it now makes me glad I don’t under todays present atmosphere with continual attacks on fair use.

Even few cd’s i do own, i download those albums from the internet instead of ripping from my cd’s. It’s far easier this way, and the quality is usually better.

Who wants tons of crappy cd’s lying around which only hold 12-13 songs for a 700MB cd? It’s a completely waste. If you want to transfer songs, use ogg vorbis or mp3, that way you store like 8-10 albums on one 700MB cd, or a hell of a lot more on a dvd.

The RIAA is hurting itself when it uses these such policies. If you aren’t allowed to rip your own cd’s thats fine, we’ll just download them from the internet and copy them then
