RIAA: "We Want Your Souls"
I usually don't post RIAA news, because I like to keep things generally pretty cheery around here, but I'm piqued by this piece of news. The RIAA now claims that it is unlawful to put your own CDs on your iPod, and that doing so does not constitute fair use. Know what I say? I say constitute rhymes with prostitute, so screw'em. Grrrrrr.
Nor does the fact that permission to make a copy in particular circumstances is often or even routinely granted, necessarily establish that the copying is a fair use when the copyright owner withholds that authorization.You see, last year to the Supreme Court they said, "it's perfectly lawful to take a CD that you've purchased, upload it onto your computer, put it onto your iPod."
Does the RIAA eat babies?

When people see that they are being defeated, start to say stupid things.
When they all had the power and were on top of the world, they did not had mercy on us. Do you know how much money I invested in records during the eighties? Did the EVER! considered to lower the price?
Now is time to pay us back.
"And if you can hear it, you can copy it"
that just doesn't seem fucking possible...but I read the pleading and they aslo say it's illegal to make back up copies.
I wish some rich person would get sued and fight it--every one settles and we'll never know who is right under the law.
