The RIAA and the MPAA need to unfuck themselves quick.

I will copy every single one of my fucking CD's any way I want to, as many times as I want to, and put that where I want to. That shit is mine.

Who cares. Most of the world is still stealing music anyways.

what a bunch of chuckleheads....

that's kind of like Mick Jagger threatening people....

the issue of enforcement alone makes that law completely laughable....

Claiming and legally upholding are two different things.

This'll get nixed in court.

these guys are just digging their own graves. Just because it pisses me off I have decided to not buy any more CD's ever. I just steal them all now with my secret squirrel l337 tactics.

To date I think the music industry has lost a good 2500 bucks thanks to pissing me off.

Well no, not if downloading copyrighted material is unenforceble. 40 gig of whatever is worthless, anyone can get it, for free.

What your saying in essence is that you expect the artists, thier producers, agents etc to spends millions putting out their artistic wares so you can enjoy them free of charge. That's cool there have always been alot of artists that stuck to the credo that pure art is always free. Thing is...

It's always been free. But back in the day it was encumbent on the user to support the art. Now it's all Sony and EMI and Virgin and whoever, you're payin more for the hype than the art. So it's easy to steal, it makes sense to you. You're prolly right, I don't watch music videos so why should the cost of the director and crew be build into every U2 CD I buy? Fuck that I'll just burn a copy from my sister.

Let the 'artists' pander to the rich folk. They can afford to buy. They can also afford not to buy. Steal what you can but support what you like. There's a little band from San Francisco that survived like that, you may have heard of them.
