1. Comment - RIAA Sues MP3.com

   Don't worry, those links don't last long. mp3.com resets though after some ammount of time (days?)
   
   So if you took the time to compile a list, it would be obsolete within a week.

2. Comment - RIAA Sues MP3.com

   nhavar,
   
   The people owning jukebox, and the radio stations of the world DO pay a fee for playing those CD's. In fact, from what I hear, the RIAA is quite disappointed they didn't charge the radio stations more way back when.
   
   So the problem I see with Mp3.com's situation, is that they refused to talk about a licensing fee. That was the open door for RIAA to sue. As you know, they sue everyone.
   
   I think the RIAA's suing technique is a good one in THEIR eyes. They must try to stop the mp3 flood until they can get their own solution up and working! SDMI, whatever. It's going to take a while, and until they figure it out, any slow down is a good one for their continuation of ancient money techniques.
   
   The sad thing is, when the RIAA sued Napster, they were quoted to list mp3.com as one of the places that were good to the mp3 scene, and was trying to honestly add to that genre. Guess that history goes out th3e window when there's money to be made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   
   Don't get me wrong, I have 94 GB of mp3's myself. And since I'm not trying to make money from it, i doubt I'll get sued anytime soon :)
