I despise the RIAA. They are nothing more than a group of thugs that thrive on intimidation, outright bullying and terrorism. They know if artists will start selling their music in download form they will cease to exist. This group of ne'er do wells is in league with Satan. These dolts are holding back further advancement of technology and making YOU pay them homage financially. Send a message to musicians. Stop buying prerecorded CDs!!! Ask your favorite artist to make their material available on their website for download at a decent price. Why this rant? Read this article at
Arstechnica. This is the organization that sued an 84 year old couple for music piracy back a few years ago. These poor people were distraught for no reason, fearing they might lose what precious little they had acquired in life. The judge actually had to order the RIAA observers in the courtroom to act like adults when they laughed aloud at the pleas of these poor people.
This is not an endorsement of piracy. It is only right that we pay the artist. Stealing music is theft. Will someone explain the difference between recording an album onto tape and recording an album onto a blank disk? Okay, I must go take my morning meds with a half-full glass of water. Later.
