Copying music to your computer may be illegal
Who owns your music?
CNN's Sunny Hostin looks at the music industry's claims that downloading music to a computer could be breaking the law. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/sho...sic.chetry.cnn Seems the Recording industry now wants to make sure that you don't even download a CD to your own computer regardless if you aren't planning to share it? Not sure what to make of this......seems a little extreme if you ask me. mmaddog ******* |

If people had been introduced to downloading music when the internet was really in it's infancy then we'd know no differently and a generation, perhaps two, would have been downloading music directly from the labels and thinking nothing of a deal of paying .25 cents a song for less than CD quality sounding music. Afterall, back then a download for a single song might have taken an hour via dialup. It was really all about creating a mindset. The pirates succeeded in creating it because a vaccum was there.

These idiots are out of touch, behind the curve, and I'm laughing my ass off at their pain. Does it suck for the artists? Sure, but they chose to get in bed with that devil. No sympathy here. Quote:
Sure, pull the other one. It's got bells on. They are also a lobbying group, and your attempt to pretend otherwise is disingenuous at best. Lobbyists attempt to make policy. Don't insult my intelligence by claiming they only execute it.

If it will make YOU feel better I can refer to the labels as RI. But since they are in bed together using the RIAA conveys the disdain that particular agency has come to symbolize without having to s-p-e-l-l it out. At least for those of us outside of the industry and who are tired of their crap.

FREE. Just like all the freakin' idiots at Costco and Sam's that line up for free samples. Are the free samples really that good at those places? Or do people just like FREE goods? |

Why not wait until the RIAA plays their hand? But thus far their MO is to try and handcuff as tightly as possible so as to maximize $$'s in their coffers. (BTW I have friends in Finance that work in the recording industries ) mmaddog ******* |

How would a law of this type even be enforced? I don't think it's possible. |

"You wanna know something else that's funny? In 1974, the great Charlie Rich won the award for Country Musician of the Year. Do you know who he had to hand the award over to in 1975? Mr. Sunshine-on-my-goddamn-Shoulders Denver."
"No!" "I'll be damned if Mr. Rich didn't take out his cigarette lighter and light the award on fire right there in front of everyone. " "You saying you're going to light my country music award on fire? " "I'm just saying, when my suspension is up, you better watch your ass. " "You gonna light my ass on fire?"
