I really don't understand the RIAA's logic. Even if they do somehow succeed in preventing any sort of internet sharing of media, college students will just join together to form cd swapping groups and it will be just the same as it is now. Some colleges, such as mine, have slow internet outside of the intranet anyway, and so the way it works now is someone buys a cd, then rips it and puts it up for everyone to download. Speeds are fast locally so everyone gets the songs. There really is no way around this. Give up!
