| There is no argument against the RIAA
Simple put the RIAA has every right to action against anyone who is stealing there copyrighted material. I don't care if a CD is $18.00 and only costs a penny to manufacture and produce, it is theft when you swap files via the internet. Now prior to MP3 & broadband there was really no viable means of copying and distributing music other than cruising over to a buddies house and copying it there on the old stereo system. I highly doubt the RIAA even cared or noticed this activity.
Now you have mass distribution of copyrighted material worldwide and it's damn easy to get this stuff. I can assure that the music companies have felt this in the massive pockets with which they hold and they want to contain it as best they can. As would I.
I do know that if I were to produce something and people liked it that they would pay for it, not steal it.
This argument I just made is just common sense. I don't always abide by the rules, but just wanted to point the RIAA's perspective here.
Take care,
LPP
