If they were convicted of the worse imaginable crime, the BIG BOY's CLUB will make it right. The RIAA is the Microsoft of music. They're the Al Capone of booze, oh wait...

It is a shame that they aren't required to bargain in good faith with p2p's over it. However to date they have stonewalled any requests for licensing for them to become legal. There is no method or oppurtunity to become legal short of doing it their way and no other. If they aren't getting the lions share of money and if money isn't made, then they aren't interested in any sort of deal. Because of this and their methods, most folks aren't wanting to deal with them. I won't support those that use financial terrorism as a method of cohercing business. I quit buying music quite some time ago and also stopped buying dvds and movies when the sue em all became the thing that the majors would use to attempt to force customers into subpar offerings. Since I can't use the data my way, to fit my lifestyle with DRM it is of no use to me. I can't resell it, I can't give it to someone else as a gift, and I can't transfer it to some other platform, the reason for ownership by buying no longer exists. It's a rental with the name of ownership and the prices set are far too high for the value recieved. When you couple that with these sort of shinagians, it isn't worth doing business with those that won't do business as a respected corporation should do. These blood suckers have no respect for the customer and I have none for them. Let them keep their crap, I'll keep my money. It sure isn't going to go to those with these sort of ideas.
