RIAA, This Is Earth, Please Come In!

ccnull writes "You might remember George Ziemann as the musician who found his own music banned from eBay because it was recorded on CD-R. Now he's back with a new rant about the RIAA's statistics, which blame piracy for the dire condition of the music industry. What's to blame? Price hikes and fewer titles. The latest rant (including analysis of the RIAA's own data) is mainly circulating by email, here's a readable link. (As an interesting side note, Ziemann says that songs are really just ads for CDs, and thus should be freely traded.)"

Hey now, don't push your stupid backwards fundie morals on me. Whats right for you isn't always right for me, ever think about it?

Ah, yes, the personal ethics system -- your morals are yours, mine are mine. So you're telling me it's OK to stuff Jews in a gas chamber?

"Ah, but that's different!"

What I did in my previous post was put forward a logical argument. Your (lack of) an argument, however, just plain sucks. You can't just say I'm wrong because you don't like paying for things.

You need to use reason to explain why I'm wrong. You think that depriving people of income is forwards? Please, please explain yourself!
