I worked as an accountant in the music idustry. And still work my own practice with a number of indies.

RIAA is technically right, because it is copyright infringement. This isn't makin a copy of your album to play in your car. This is to cut the label out of the loop.

But, I don't feel sorry for music labels. CDs at $20? Sorry, but a CD costs less to produce than a tape now a days. Even when the arguement was made that CDs were more expensive to produce, the difference was something like $1.17 to $0.98. Fact is, labels have cheated way too many people with their pricing strategy.
