(Pay a low monthly fee to share high quality DRM-free music)They wouldn't be where they are today.What did they do instead? They went and turned on their customer base and made them into criminals. This was purely greed on the industries side. Are the musicians getting more pay? No. What do they tell the musicians and the general public why that is. Piracy. That's why a lot more artists are leaving the big name members and starting their own companies. They get more money without all of the RIAA BS. -- Bush bashing is old. How about more solutions instead?

YUP!!! It all started with the Cassette tape and VHS recorder. When they were first debued (sp?) the movie and music industries fought against the technologies. Cried how they would loose SOO much money. The courts shot them down. Technology was allowed to prosper. It fhappened again with the CD. When burners appeared on the horizion they cried again that they would lose money. They never did in either of those 2 cases. The resale market continued as it had always been since the 50s and hte sneaker net continued as it had since the advent of hte cassette recorder. The entertainment industry had their warning 20 years ago but chose to ignore it. Hell, they didn't start challenging hte CD burner till it dropped to $500. when burners first debeued the recording industry just chuckled. a few years later and they saw their mistakes. Same thing happened in the recent past with dual layer burners. but the precedence was already there, against hte record industry. They had their chance, they STILL fail to stay with the times...
