After winning the case, RIAA doesn't give up...

[Friendly Hostile]

You realize though this is how capitalism works, right?  People downloading music affects their profits.  They're trying to keep from making less money than before.  I don't support the insane amounts of money they make off artists, however I see why they react this way.

Alright, reading the article, THIS mad me off the most:

"Another possible avenue of legal action for the RIAA is the pursuit of businesses that play unauthorized music in stores.  The Performing Rights Society (PRS), Britain's version of the RIAA, may give the RIAA some possible ideas with its pending litigation.  The PRS is suing the Kwik Fit Group, a car repair shop in Edinburgh, for £200,000 in damages.  The case revolves around the complaint that Kwik Fit employees brought in personal radios which they played while working on cars, which could be heard by colleagues and customers.  The PRS says this amounts to a public "performance" and should have entailed royalties."

WTF? Crazy, ass holic peoples!

Screw those power hungry bastards. The dont  want poeple downloading music because then they loss money.

The money they potentially lose from P2P apps is negligible at worst. They try to make up for their slumping revenue by bringing about bullpoop lawsuits and having 'experts' commit perjury.

If they would stop the bullpoop lawsuits and give up the DRM, CD sales would be stronger like they were in the Napster days.

This has nothing to do with capitalism. They're bringing lawsuits based on bad information and false testimony because they refuse to acknowledge that their lawsuits do nothing to stop P2P, and their revenue is falling because of it.
