Re: OT: the RIAA we know and love
So many old RIAA threads.
I think I'll bring my own back for this.

Re: OT: the RIAA we know and love
A good point was (inadvertantly) made below:
The US post office (like an ISP) moves mail with information and demagraphics around (like an ISP) from person to person. The US post office doesn't collect and maintain data on who sent what to whom (generally speaking) so why should a similar entity be able to do it and get away with it just because the format changed from paper to data? That is some really ****ed ** ***t !

Re: OT: the RIAA we know and love
Well, if the artists would make great 10 or so songs on their cd's, instead of maybe one or two, maybe the people would buy more of them. Instead of just trying to d/l their favorite song off of the album, they would go to their music stores and buy the newly reduced in price cd chock full of good stuff. But I haven't bought a cd in such a long time, I really don't know the quality of the music. I'm not buying because I'm d/l the crap out of the songs, I just don't have the interest right now in buying music. In my current lifestyle, I just don't have much time to play cd's. I like listening to talk radio at work, and I don't have a cd player in my car. I have a part-time job on the weekends, but unless I buy stock in Everready or DuraLast, there's no electrical outlet to plug my player in. So teh RIAA can go kiss my @$$.

Re: OT: the RIAA we know and love
Kazaa has apparently recovered actual copies of their program that have been altered and then redistributed by the RIAA to monitor traffic and they are now suing the RIAA for tampering with their 'intellectual property'!
Mwahahahahahaha!

And there is ANOTHER sore spot! How about all these albums by different Groups/singers labeled, "Best Of (fill in a group name)", yet if you take a look at the songs on any such album, you will often note many of the songs are NOT their best. They are just fillers that never even made the Billboard top 100. That's just misleading advertising. THAT grabs my crotch hairs!
