Headline news five years from now...
4 year old arrested (yes, arrested) by the RIAA for singing "Rubber ducky, you're the one" in the bathtub.
The way I see it, laws are temporary, and based on the times. We see a world today that is realizing that in order to give gay groups total equal rights, they must be allowed to marry legally...so the laws are about to change to accomodate this new train of thought.
This is February, and so it is Black History Month. Years ago...whites made the blacks sit in the back of the bus until one day a young woman refused to give up her front seat,,,was taken to jail, and that spurred a huge change for the lives of everybody when we realized we were wrong.
I predict that the RIAA will eventually lose tihs battle, and not be able to force this rule of copywrite infringement. There are just too many people to arrest to bring justice to their rules, and a new approach will have to be determined.
