Re: Feel bad?
said by quatrix  :The same goes for everyone badmouthing the RIAA just because they push for enforcement of laws that they broke. The RIAA whines a lot because sales are off from what their predictions claim they should be.
I have not bought an RIAA property in...I don't know when. I have probably spent about $30 on RIAA properties in the last ten years.
I don't download .mp3 music files; especially not those belonging to members of the RIAA.
So I must be rich from all of the money I didn't spend on them, right?
I have nearly 9GB of .mp3 files on my HDD. Probably spent a couple of thousand dollars to get them. A lot of show tunes from 美少女戦士セーラームーン。 All but two are imports. A couple of sound track albums, and an image album from ああ!女神さま!. Also imported. Some tunes from the likes of Hisaishi Joe, Kanno Yoko, Nagata Shigeru, and Namba Hiroyuki. All of which cost about double what the RIAA charges. All of which are licensed by companies who would form the RIAJ (I believe there really is a similar organization in Japan).
I have no sympathy for the RIAA. They promote music which does not suit my taste; the Japanese do, so they get my money instead.
