RIAA To Target CD-R
mike skoglund writes: "According to this 8/20 RIAA press release, the RIAA is concerned about CD burners. Hilary Rosen, president and CEO of the RIAA, said: "Many in the music community are concerned about the continued use of CD-Rs . . . and we believe this issue deserves further analysis. A preliminary survey of tech savvy online music enthusiasts recently conducted for the RIAA showed that nearly one out of two consumers surveyed downloaded in the past month and nearly 70 percent burned the music they downloaded. All of this activity continues to show the passion of the consumer for music and the need for both legal protection and legitimate alternatives.'" I enjoy Rosen's claim that "consumer loyalty to the physical product still dominates and we are committed to providing the quality product listeners desire." I wonder if they'll eventually push through a Canadian-style tax on anything that can carry data.

The RIAA, the Recording Industry Artists Association was found dead in an alley today at the age of 26. You may not have heard of them before, but nevertheless, they've dipped deeply into your pocket. Truly an American travesty, repugnant to all right-thinking people and seen as a absurd paragon of greed by non Americans. It is doubted that anyone will mourn its passing.
what's with these funky yellow borders? they're dead ugly
indeed
Does anyone here have any experience in having sex with midget women? Is it normal to feel sexually aroused by midget women or am I a freak?

you goddam twisted bitch. i use cd's for archive & storage. you have no goddam right to try and tax me for your own twisted assumption of piracy.
oh, and fuck you on fair use too.
last thing. why have cd sales dropped 30% so far this year? think there's any possible minutest hint of a connection between that and trashing napster? hmmm. let me think about that one a moment while i point this revolver at my foot and pull the trigger.
