| It has much to do with tracing the activity
The RIAA has run into many obstacles when it comes to tracing IP activity to an actual user. A government authority like the one they are setting up will have no problems with that at all. Proof they can use in civil court is what the RIAA really wanted here, and now they will have all the proof they need from a very reliable source.
At least there is still a way to obtain all the mp3's I want without risking my financial future. I just record songs from digital radio stations to high bitrate mp3 files on my PC with a system called HD RadioPC. The mp3's are of much higher quality than those you buy from iTunes and the like. The best part is that its completely legal for me to do this, so I dont need to worry about copyright czar's. I only spent like $30 bucks for a reciever along with an interface and software, and now I have an enourmous music collection. |

@rogers.com | Where do we have the money for this. America is 11 trillion dollars in debt.
Do bazooka hank and comrade bernanke also have the money for this? Now the printing press is being used to fund more government projects that wont do anything |

3 edits | If your discretionary budget is really that bad, then maybe you need to re-evaluate the direction you have chosen for your life, and concentrate on improving your financial future rather than posting in stupid forums like this.
For the rest of us, entertainment is simply something we refuse to give up. We know that the sky is not falling and that the economy will recover and go on as it always has in the past. America has seen much more challenging times before this and that never stopped us.  |
