Personally I think the RIAA goes to far and the correct decision was made. We have always made tapes of the music we liked back in the old days by borrowing cassettes from friends and recording the songs we liked on a blank tape. No such thing as lawsuits against 10 year olds than or police barging down doors to do a bust on a bunch of kids. Only difference is back than we used cassettes and the nice little feature called high speed dubbing. Now they use computers and blank CD's. The truth is record companies probably are not losing any more money today from this than they did 20 years ago.

The article is subscription.. could you post it here LK?

Without reading it i will say that the RIAA is bloody stupid thinking they can come out in the plus while suing their customer base. That's not the way to endear us to your cause.

Not really. It just wants your birth year, and Zip. After that, you can see the article. The reason I did not post it, was becouse there would have been a lot of other stuff as well. Adds and links and the like. Anyway, If you still want to see it here, let me know. I can PM you. [img]smile.gif[/img]
