    The next thing you know, the RIAA is going to sue God becasue he made a device called the brain that can memorize and remember at will any song that it has processed through the use of another invention called the ear.

    It's to bad that God did not give either of those devices to anyone in the RIAA.
    Setup:
    Adcom GFA-545 amp
    Nad 1600 pre
    Dual 704 TT
    Pioneer 707 R2R
    Pioneer DV-578A Multi-format

    I love how the RIAA complains about all this supposed lost revenue, yet artists are having no problem going platinum.

    RIAA has lots of legitimate gripes, but sadly (for them) they lose their credibility when they do crap like this. I believe artists should be paid for their music. My sympathy is with the independent musicians on this one. Oddly enough they do tend to garner a lot more respect.

    If I like it, I buy it. Simple as that.

    Dude, my PC at home has an optical input on it. I also have 700+ GB of available hard drive space. I can stream satelite radio right on to my PC and then burn those streamed recordings to CD and get CD quality music at the minimum out of it.

    I know some people who can stream several terbytes of data down. That is talking weeks worth of music recorded off of satelite radio.

    That's one thing I really like about my MyFi XM radio, I can download a lot of XM music to it, great for jogging.

    There was a pc card version of the xm receiver made for a short time. Someone wrote software for advanced control and recording.
    The same guys raised a legal challege, and the product was pulled off the market. Typical. If I really like something, a bunch of lawyers will show up and put a stop to it.

    Say it with me.....F**K the RIAA!!

    I see no legitimate gripes at all with them. And who can say with a straight face the "artists" arent getting paid for their music. Hell some no talent rap guy can have one hit song and be set for life! Britney, Mariah, Christina, Back Side Boys and all the others have more money than can possible spend! They ARE getting paid for their music.

    Pretty much the only music I download is music I would never buy in the first place. Take Nightwish. I heard about them and downloaded a couple of their songs, loved their stuff and downloaded some more. Really loved it now I buy all their CD's. If it werent for downloading, I would own none of their CD's.

    Plus, if the RIAA is whining about revenue, then how bout knocking the price down from $20 a freaking CD!!!!! If CD's were $10 a piece new, they wouldnt be able to make em fast enough.

    Last thing, why doesnt the record industry look at the quality of the music. With all these one hit wonder, bubble gum corporate music out these days, its no wonder nobody wants to buy CD's.

    F**K the RIAA!

    Believe it or not, there are many fantastic musicians (most of which DON'T get radio play due to not having a major label, etc, pushing their watered down music down our throats) that are NOT getting paid for their music like they should due to pirating and illegal downloading.

    People really need to get out there and start finding these other artists instead of the spoon fed stuff and find out who is also getting hurt. The men and women that ARE traveling night by night from bar/club to bar/club to play shows. Those are the people I truly feel for. Their profession IS their music. It's amazing how in the last few years people have lost sight of this and are legitimizing their theft. This isn't in response to the RIAA going after XM Radio, it's in regards to peoople who think downloading stuff and then listening to it over and over again is OK. It's not. It's stealing. If you like it, you should buy it, simple as that.

    Like I said...if they actually focussed their argument on the right artists you'd see they DO have a point. The people that aren't doing the mass volume are the ones getting screwed by it. Not all artists are selling out arenas and charging $50 for a piece of **** T-shirt..and they're most likely making better music.
