  1. Comment - WinMX Shuts Down After RIAA Threat

    (Sep 26, 2005 - 12:28 PM)

    spencer9812, how can you possibly say that the RIAA is doing the right thing?

    *They have been convicted of price fixing

    *They are sueing the people who buy their products - which is suicide, that's like being a farmer and poisoning the food... though the product is what gives you income

    *They are trying to increase the price to download music from LEGAL sites (Itunes)

    *They are trying to shut down P2P networks PERMANTENTLY by saying in the courts that it's only good for viruses and children getting porn - Not true

    *They even targeted CD-Writers, though there are plenty of legal uses for burning CD's other than making bootleg tapes to sell.

    *What next? Impose large tax on the sale of Blank CD's and give the proceeds to the RIAA??

    I think the RIAA has done ALL the wrong things and continues to do so. They are making up for lost revenues through the courts, and severely hurting families.

    I think the RIAA is just going to wind up losing more and more profits as more people protest them.

    It's not the file downloading that is hurting them. Lots of people have found music from other great bands that they never knew existed and have actually BOUGHT cd's produced by those bands.

    *High Priced CD's discourage people from buying.
    *CD's with only 2 decent songs discourage people from buying.
    *Lack of knowledge of the artists (Not recognizing the songs) discourage buying.
    *RIAA's greed and corruption discourages buying, in fact creates protesting...

    Other then that, If I own a cd of an artist and I want a certain song on my pc I could still be sued for downloading the song. So what's the purpose of even buying a cd for maybe 2 good songs? There is none... And If I want to fight it in court it'll cost me $1,000 in lawyer fees.
