Who cares about RIAA crap?

Watch out kind of long.
Here's a question for all of you. Is the RIAA concerned about giving the public quality music? Or lining their pockets? Duh! That's not a hard one to figure. I mean we're constantly being fed the crap that the RIAA tries to pass off as music. The Backstreet Boys? Britney Spears? Please. I'm so tired of most "popular" music that I've started listening to NPR and classical almost excusively. Then you've got mp3.com, who publishes music for artists who can't afford to go to or have been passed over by the "big labels". I have D/L'd music from mp3.com done by artists. Bands, individuals, etc. who care more about their artistic vision, than money.
So here's the point: Who cares if RIAA has Napster pull all the major label crap? I certainly don't. I was a Metallica fan for a while, and then they got all high and mighty and did the one thing that no fan should ever forgive them for...they stabbed us in the back, but at the same time exposed their only interest is money. I say let RIAA have it's "music" pulled. In fact Napster users should do it voluntarily, and then stop buying from them. Stop listening to anybody who whinned about Napster. Screw them! I can tell you that their is some real quality free music out there. If you support open source and have used or developed quality free software, then it just makes sense.
I'm down off my soap box. You want to flame me fine, but I'm not going to play the RIAA's little game anymore. Who's with me?
