"The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has been crying again warned that digital radio broadcasts which produce CD-quality music over the airwaves could lead to unfettered song copying if protections are not put in place."

My God!! Do you realise the implications of this?
Next thing you know, people will be breathing the same air, those recordings have been sent on!! this could lead to inspiration, and interest, and yes, I dare say, "unfettered" happiness will run rampant in the streets!! Total chaos, and anarchy, I say!! People will be having kids, and, and,
and propagating this atrocity...Well, it could be disastrous!!

I call on the Congress of the U.S.A. to immediately, drop whatever unimportant thing they are doing at this time, pull up those trousers past their belly buttons, shake a fist, and pass some absurd law, to quickly quell this coup!!!

At last the RIAA has found themselves in the position of picking on someone of their own size. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it: For over 20 years now one group or another has been battling to come up with a fool proof copy protection scheme for one thing or another associated with computer media, and for those same 20+ years each and every one of the protection schemes has failed or quickly been nullified.

Either the RIAA comes up with a revised, viable marketing strategy or they go the way of the dinosaurs.
