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

Portion of article

Pariser believes in a very broad definition of stealing that is echoed by many supporters in the RIAA.  She believes that users who buy songs are entitled to one, and only one copy.  Burning CDs is just another name for stealing, in her mind. "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'."

The RIAA would be dumb to continue with this poop. Opinions?

The RIAA is also currently trying to make internet radio illegal.  And we won the right to keep it on.  Five times now.

They are still trying.

The RIAA is made up of poop holey dinosaurs that refuse to believe their business model is obsolete. This is somehow news?

I know you're joking (or at least I think you are...), but the radio stations pay royalties to music artists, so this crap RIAA and that European company are pulling is pathetic

You mean RIAA/Sony/Warner/Universal/EMI executives, right? They're the only ones getting rich over music other than HUGE artists.

Although EMI isn't too bad. They gave up DRM first, I haven't seen them filing bullpoop lawsuits like Sony and Universal, and they're considering leaving the RIAA.

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

Do you have any idea how much the money collected by the RIAA the artist actually sees?  Artists make the big money by doing public appearances and having their face sprayed on someone's t-shirt, not actually selling songs.

Sorry, I meant the RIAA and agents.

Yes a bunch of new people use Itunes and make good money even thought there not famous. People who are famous make enought money to start up there own thing like Itunes and make the entire profit.
