It's like the RIAA doesn't want us to buy CDs, that way they can claim that P2P is once again at fault when it really isn't. The artists aren't really loosing any money, they make very little off CD sales because most of it goes to the music label. Even then the RIAA Music Label willfully hold the money that should go to the artists, and if the artist actually realizes it, they have to pay for an attorney to force an audit at the company.

RIAA forgets to pay royalties

RIAA sues consumer buy forgets to pay artist

RIAA memebers forget to pay pension for artists

RIAA  redefines online sales to lower royalties to artists

To be honest, I think the RIAA is more detrimental to the artists than the piraters.

Wont happen, and even if it does it will take someone 10 minutes to find a way around it.

And Today's RIAA News was brought to you by TAK, Gary Lee Weinrib, and the number 30.

Its like all copy protection, it will last 5 minutes.  I remeebr that new Sony one that got beaten by the marker pen! w00t

I have to pity the people they hire to come up with these rediculous schemes.  Surely they know they're wasting their time.

One can hope for the day when music is an art once again, and not just an industry.

Rush CDs were not brought to you by numbers, they were brought to you by letters, haven't you ever watched Sesame Street?

I'm stung...you didn't get my '30'...a reference to Rush's 30th anniversary.  

I guess you're not a fan after all.
