Cheyenne, WY | They have lost me... I have not listened to music radio in at least 10 years. I have thousands of music tracks on my computer and hundreds of videos of my favorite TV shows, mostly English documentary shows like Time Team. I follow and support a limited number of non RIAA artists who are mostly in the New Age category. When you tune into FM radio and you can't even tell what station you are listening to because they all sound the same there nothing there to interest me. The real problem the RIAA has nothing they can sell me anything I want I already have. Gone are the days when your tape player would destory your tape, or a record got so damaged it sounded like crap and you would have to replace it. When I get a new Music CD I just rip it to a hard drive and there it stays. I have been a steady customer of the MPAA but the last DVD I purchase would not play on my computer. My HD monitor is on my computer so I prefer to play DVD's there. The MPAA's has every right to put DRM on their DVD's but that doesn't mean I have to purchase them.

What always ticks me off about this rate stuff is how they can force the rates to be retroactive to the previous year. If the last agreement was good until the end of that year, I don't get that at all. That's just pure greed.
