Come on this is *not* (repeat ****not***) new stuff. And its exceptionally trivial. I defy anyone to prove that they thought of this first. The patent laws in the US have become a very bad joke indeed!
What really bugs me about RIAA is that they complain and whine about lost royalties, yet one must ask the question: how many times do I have to pay royalties for the same music? I have a large record (i.e. vinyl) collection and have duplicates of many on CD. I paid the royalties once, why do I need to pay them again (and again, and again....)? This does not seem fair at all. Are they going to offer refunds to people who pay royalties more than once?
