Somehow, the RIAA will manage to get NSA to steal cycles from decrypting terrorist message traffic to busting crypted P2P streams. Oy... Talk about some priorities. You know, if people really gave a damn, they'd simply boycott anything associated with the RIAA. Let the whole house of cards come tumbling down. Yeah, the artists and retailers and everyone else would get hurt, but they helped build and feed this monster. Time to nuke it. -tom -- "There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't." "That's only 2 types of people, moron"

By definition, to boycott the RIAA would include not downloading any of their music.

Wile purchasing the whole CD, you get 12-17 songs and pay $15-$20, it only works out to a little over a dollar a track, you have to add in that with the CD (which isn't node-locked in its default format), you get the media, you get the jewel case and you get the liner notes. Minus the cost of those extras, your per-track cost drops to less than $1. So, how is paying for "legal alternatives" cheaper and costing the RIAA and associates anything? -tom -- "There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't."
