| RIAA needs to give users what they want not sue em I personally do not mind using p2p networks to obtain content I am after, even if it may come in a bit slower than I'd like sometimes. why? Well that digital restrictions management as I've come to call it is a huge factor. Yes I can get content legally as they like to say via Itunes and whatnot, however what's the use if I can't easily copy files I've purchased from one computer to another just as I would any other file. If I bought the content, I should be able to play it in whatever player, on whatever PC or MAC operating system or portable device I damn well please! So yes if I'm after a piece of content, I will search for it via other methods such as p2p networks or similar ways and only if I can not find it via those means will I then look for it on the greedy label approved services! It's sad to see many of the major ISPS severely throttling or not allowing altogether p2p network uploads. If I were an indy artist trying to share my work via p2p, I'd be quite upset if folks couldn't use my maximum upload potential to obtain the work I'm trying to get out there! And you better believe it , if I were to get sued simply for sharing data across a computer network, which is really all I'm doing technically, oh yes I'd not only try to fight it, I'd also give frequent updates as to my progress, I'd make sure everyone knew what was going on between me and the greedy labels! And all this could've been solved I believe if the labels didn't insist on offering content for download only with DRM (digital restrictions managed) files. If there were an Itunes like service out there, but the files were say MP3's instead of this DRM crap, don't you think folks would be much more willing to pay for the content, especially if they could get it nice and fast? It's not that we don't want to pay for music, it's that we the consumer don't want to pay for digitally restricted content! Give us a file that's no different than any other normal file, and we'd be happy to pay for it, at least that's what I believe. I'd love to see someone set up a web site where one could download content for a small fee that was both major label tracks and indy artists just to prove that if we had a file we could use like any other, we wouldn't mind paying at that point. I hope this woman fight's the RIAA, because I'm sure fed up with their tactics! |
