• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Ignoring RIAA lawsuits cheaper than going to trial

I don't understand how any recording company can feel that they deserve $750 per downloaded song, or more even. Heck, a store bought CD has, what, 14 songs usually and will lighten your wallet by less than $20. Why all the extra money? LAWYERS!

OBIO
 
I think the message here is that if you stand up to the RIAA, you're going to get hammered and you're better off to just roll over to them. Not saying that I necessarily agree with it though.
 
I think what everyone in the world should take one CD that they bought legally, and give it to a friend, enemy, coworker, sibling, etc. No copying, uploading, or downloading. Then they give the CD to someone else, and so on ,and so on, again with no copying or loading... and so on...
Is it illegal to give a legally purchased CD as a B-Day gift? I think if the RIAA had thier way....
RIAA- Adapt or die.
