"As far as I'm concerned, if somebody puts something in my mailbox that I didn't ask for, it's a gift or a free sample."
I don't know if, "As far as I'm concerned" is the best choice for a legal defense.
"I live in the one state with the sense to ignore it, Arizona."
Actually, two slight corrections. Arizona does not completely ignore it. A small part of Arizona in the upper right corner does not ignore DST. Thanks Navajo Nation. Hawaii, however, is actually the only state that completely ignores DST. So the correction is that Arizona is not the only state to ignore DST, and it also doesn't ignore it state-wide. As a side note, until April 2005, Indiana was also ignoring DST, but they switched.
Let them quit. Let them be plumbers or cops. Music started as free. Songs made to be sung by the people to bring them together, tell stories, etc. Music isn't new. Music has been around for a long time. Think of how many famous musicians there were two or three hundred years ago. How about during the Renaissance, the greatest time of art and music in out history? Compare that to the bullshit that goes on now. Pop singers don't deserve the money they get and their "work" is trash. Now, I'm not really worried either way about what happens to their music because I don't listen to music from anyone within the RIAA and haven't for over a decade, but I do care about the fact that they are suggesting that they deserve to make the kind of money that they have been. They don;'t make music that can stand the test of time. They make music that stays with you for a couple weeks and then you move on to the next song. They don;t deserve a mil for a song that nobody will care about in six months. If you're gonna make cheap disposable music, fine, but don't your diluted sense of entitlement thanks to the past 50 years of fluffed business politics doesn't mean you are worth what you claim.
I don't know who's worse. McDonalds for messing up the order 8 times, or you for going back an 8th time only to let them mess it up again. Isn't there a point where you learn your lesson and buy food somewhere else, or are like the cartoon character that keeps walking into the rake lying on the ground?

You, sir, are awesome.
Isn't the other alternative to just buy it on DVD?
The Canadian RIAA blames piracy... So because of piracy, we get lower prices? I'm pretty sure the Canadian RIAA just encouraged piracy...
