fuck them.
Are you fucking kidding me.
I will for one say I don’t download and I’m against it.
But fuck that, I paid for the fucking cd I’ll put it on my god damn hard drive if I want to. If I want to listen to two songs from seperate albums why the hell should I have to put one cd in…listen…and then put another one in. That is pushing the fucking limits.
haha those people are so damn stupid I can’t believe it.
downloading makes bands more money then not.
arrgh! Is it the cat o nine tails for said booty?
eat a dick RIAA!!!!
If I want to make a duplicate copy of a cd, in case my first one scratches, I think I have the right to do that if I purchased the cd.
Hmmm, so it’s illegal fom me to buy a cd and put it onto my ipod? hahaha
fuck i didn’t read the whole article, but still
lol, lets see them TRY to prosecute one of their customers who wanted to rip a track from their legally purchased CD onto their computer and their MP3 player. It’s not up to the RIAA whats legal and whats not anyway. On the side I’m not going to even bother to read that article, its ridiculous.
What happened to personal use rights?
like the other guy said the RIAA should eat a dick and fuck off
