Default Re: OT: Recording Industry Ripoff

Any chance that BM gets to defame the name of corporations is a good day. What he says has absolutely nothing to do with corporations themselves, but rather with anyone trying to make money. Such artificial product scarcity occured eons before the first corporation was ever chartered.

The RIAA wants variable pricing on music tracks so that they can charge 1.50 or more for popular songs, and likely the same as now for less popular songs. Absolutely none of their actions in recent years have done anything to curb piracy, but instead to destroy the last vestiges of reputation that they had and to provoke further piracy. I seem to recall that in recent years, piracy (of all forms) has approached the levels of bandwidth usage of pornography on the Internet as a whole...
