This is just one more example of a dinosaur thrashing its last. They haven't seen the future; they won't be in the future. You know, I don’t really care about the RIAA anymore.

They are just pitching their same ye old argument that putting said ripped music into a shared folder makes it unauthorized. So really it's a way to argue for lower common meaning of inducement. Which is worth fighting over, but it looks like what they said was taken way of context. Hmmm a little more digging shows that this is not what the RIAA said at all.

You make the most ridiculous arguments you can, rattle some sabers, then make people bargain for the rights they already have. Nibble the edges so next time you do this it's easier, and figure a way to pocket the difference in cash. Tried and true, but hopefully for us all, futile in todays modern age.<br />Why they want DRM on the CD's not because it will ever work, but so they can punish people at will for circumvention and make a valid legal argument about what is and is not authorized rather then tilting at windmills (though the fair use windmill is looking a little dilapidated these days).

Normally I don't like to weigh in on this kind of thing, but this is a hot button for me.<br /><br />I absolutely agree with that this is absurd. I too, still buy CD's in disc form. First, because I love having the artwork. Second, because it's DRM free music. And third, my disc's basically become my backup music in case something goes wrong. To say that I can't copy my disc and make it digital is seriously outrageous.<br /><br />Thanks for linking this blog and supporting the purchase of music in disc form.<br /><br />Peace. Thomas,

I absolutely agree with that this is absurd. I too, still buy CD’s in disc form. First, because I love having the artwork. Second, because it’s DRM free music. And third, my disc’s basically become my backup music in case something goes wrong. To say that I can’t copy my disc and make it digital is seriously outrageous.

Thanks for linking this blog and supporting the purchase of music in disc form.

Peace.
