place. In my opinion, the RIAA is not unlike a predator that has acquired an insatiable appetite; it needs to be placed on a very short leash. The RIAA is one of the few organizations that have etched out a policy that is overtly alienating the very consumers its members need to survive.
What I find more interesting is the fact that the RIAA and MPAA have both been convicted multiple times of price fixing and other illegal monopolistic practices. Yet almost nobody knows about this. They have done an excellent job of supressing media reporting on it. And these same organizations are working closely with specific congressmen to ram radical new monopoly-protecting legislation through congress... Thats like congressmen working alongside convicted bank robbers to write pro-gun laws. -Dan -- [-] Omae no subete no kichi wa ore no mono da. [-]
