    I don't get it, I thought that we were supposed to buy RIAA DRM CDs and then return them as "defective" -- won't that hurt them a bit more than simply not buying the CDs?

    Although the creator "assures us that the bookmarklet is safe," how do we know? And what is with the "Most Recent Queries" box on the right?

    I mean this seriously, not as flamebait

    1. Create a tool to help people boycott the RIAA
    2. Get said people to buy CDs through your link
    3. Profit!!
