| Unjustifiable The punishment does not fit the crime! How can RIAA justify trying to bleed their consumers for these inflated figures just for downloading some songs? I could see if these people started churning out burned CD's and selling them on the street corner, but come on!
I just bought a couple of MP3 albums from amazon.com last night. Hypothetically speaking, what happens if RIAA suddenly accuses me of stealing that music? Will Amazon come to my defense 5, 10 or 20 years down the road? Will they have a record of my purchases for that long? Somehow I doubt this.
I am hopeful that the incoming administration will bring the government to its senses and realize that these RIAA "tactics" only serve the interest of corporate greed, which has been so prevalent the past 8 years or so.
It would really be great to see some common sensibility come to our government and I really hope I see it happen. Bitch slap RIAA into place!

Not one artist has seen one penny from the RIAA lawsuits and any lawyer willing to be such a racketeering scumbag probably belongs in prison! It's a pretty good bet that such lawyers cheat on both their taxes and their spouse. |
