| The fight against RIAA This is a consumer war vs the music industry. The money for songs should go to artists and not the RIAA. If any one believes the RIAA is realing give money to the artists thru this lawsuit ordeal; they need to wake up. The money will go to pay their legal fees. Think about all the money involved in this file sharing fiasco. The artists aren't making a penny from these lawsuits. This is about the RIAA's control over music. The RIAA wants to control how their customers obtain and listen to music. There is a boycott on CD's and DVD's. The RIAA is losing money. We have seen the true nature of the RIAA beast. It doesn't care about little girls and grandmas.
I salute MIT in their battles. We need to win more key battles before the music war is over.

| I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE “CATCHY TITLE” THE FIGHT AGAINST RIAA. THE TITLE SHOULD BE THE FIGHT AGAINST “PIRATES AND THIEVES” THIS SHOULD BE THE REAL TITLE.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH SOME PEOPLE HATE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HATE BANKS AND THAT HATE DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO ROB BANKS. TO ROB MUSIC AND BANKS IS AGAINST THE LAW.
ONE LITTLE EXAMPLE, WHAT IF YOU START PRINTING YOUR OWN MONEY? YOU THINK THAT IS CORRECT. HOW ABOUT PIRATING THE SOFTWARE FROM MICROSOFT.
PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH MONEY IS POWERED INTO A RECORDING, PROMOTION etc.
ABOUT MIT THAT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME, AFTER ALL THE BIGGEST THIEVES, GRADUATE FROM THIS UNIVERSITIES. |

| Dude... chill on the all caps. First off nobody is being robbed. Nothing is stolen. Not even the 'piracy' term is accurate. Have you looked at the sales figures? Do you really think the music industry is hurting because of P2P? It's still one of the highest revenue generating businesses out there. Have you checked the sales figures from more than just the big labels? What about the independent labels that are getting strong gains in sales and thank P2P for it? What about the fact that album sales across the board were on the rise when Napster was going strong?
Music is not a commodity. It's art. Art has a tendency to be shared by those who love the work. Just because people are sharing music they bought doesn't mean the artists, record execs, mailroom attendant and the rest of the people in the big music making machine aren't getting paid. That's propaganda that the RIAA is spewing. Instead of taking the RIAA's word for everything why not listen to the artists instead?
