:lol: Fucking RIAA. They’re inches away from making it illegal to posess copyrighted material. I’d be scared to buy a CD at this point. ---

I am surprised that this isn’t a Hollywood colaboration since just as much movie-related copywrited material is pirated. Either that or Hollywood realizes how much money they have and don’t care that much… :gotme: ---

Eh, the MPAA is usually right there with them. My old roommate had to meet with Harvey Axelrod at UB and write a letter stating that he formatted his computer when he got caught sharing a bootleg of a newly released movie on DC++ with an off-campus hub. I’d guess that the difference is just that there are a lot more 3mb music files traded than 650+mb video files. ---

Im going to guess that the rest of the world economy that works online \>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>\>then the music industry. So they will just throw their weight around with this. Hell do you think the communication industry would stand for this with all the money they are spending to expand highspeed internet access? ---

Crazy. The MPAA does similar stuff, but they take a warn first sue later approach instead of sue, sue, sue. ex. They call your ISP so they suspend your account so they can: A. Send a letter B. Have you call in so that it is explained to them. ---

people will vote with their wallets. why buy something when you can pirate it easier/cheaper. look at [AllofMP3.com](http://AllofMP3.com) for example. the only reason I keep buying CDs is quality, but I turn around and sell them a few days after ripping 'em anyway… ---

Well, In one aspect I can see where they are coming from, but they really need to get their heads out of their asses.
