1. Comment - 3 Guilty of File Sharing, RIAA Sues 750

   (Mar 3, 2006 - 3:40 AM)

   Wow, there's a lot being said here and I am wondering where to begin! LOL Ok, here goes....It is true that recording artists and producers pretty much sell their souls to the "devil" when they sign a recording contract these days. They basically make PENNIES for each CD sold and their bread & butter is from live performances.
   I think it's pretty pathetic that the US Dept of Justice doesn't have anything better to do than go after a few file swappers. Aren't there TERRORISTS they can be finding or murders, rapists and what not that they can go catch? It's pretty pathetic thet the RIAA is now tying up our legal system with thier pety- anti BULL CRAP, you know? It's one thing to sue people but now to have our Dept of Justice prosecuting......There are much bigger fish to fry out there!
   You know, I think that more artists need to start speaking up about what is going on. There are some that appreciate those few pennies per CD because back in the day that was how they made their living. However, there are so many more that have remained silent....THEN you have Avril Lavene who is standing up to say enough is enough and is actually PAYING to defend an accused file swapper! SHe knows that CD's aren't where the money is and I hate to say it but the days of going and buying a CD are quickly DYING. If the RIAA would just get with the times then people would probably be happier all around.
   Now they are trying to stop us from doing ANYTHING with a CD once we buy it. Can't make yourself a back up copy, can't listen to it while you're playing games or doing work on your computer.....I remember cassette tapes and using them to record my favorite songs off of the radio; I didn't buy music back when I was a teenager, come on! You can now rip streams from internet radio stations as easily as if you popped in a cassette tape and recorded from the radio. What's the big deal? At some point the music was PAID FOR, and I don't see why we should all have to keep paying and paying and paying......
   
   GREEDY bas****S, that's what the RIAA MAFIA is.......Dirty, greedy bas****S. If you want to get away from them and all the fuss you can always do what I do and listen to UNSIGNED ARTISTS! There's one hell of an underground music scene these days folks!
