It has now been further proven that the RIAA are complete morons.

Now I guess you'll just have to buy the cd if you want it to look like the original. Idiot. :p
as part of the fight against music piracy, ISPs should be held accountable for the actions of their users and charged a fee for giving their customer's access to services such as Kazaa or Morpheus.
Well, this is bullshit if they really seriously think this is a viable solution. If I was in the music industry I'd be very worried that these morons were representing me. And what about foreign ISPs?? Idiots ;)
We don't see the recording industry moving to address problems of overwhelming same-ness in music, high CD prices, or low artist compensation.
Same-ness in music is hardly a valid reason for downloading, the writer is an idiot (seems this is my new favourite word ;)) for bringing that up. I'm not even sure that low artist compensation is an issue (I know people like to pretend it is, but they are idiots ;)). High prices are though, and still the idiots in the industry do nothing about it. Idiots :loco:
Even their competing download services are a joke, with draconian requirements, high fees, and — my favorite — the ability to delete your music in the event you stop paying for the monthly service. Did I mention you can't burn any of your music library either? What a joke.
Nice to see the idiot writer has conveniently ignored sites like www.emusic.com which effectively give you ownership of the mp3, and you can do what you want with it. Those other sites do sound like they're run by idiots, but not all of them are ;)
If the RIAA had been thinking during the Napster battle they'd have swallowed their pride and cut a deal with the service (which was, after all, owned by a music company), whose downloads they could monitor and whose users could be tracked.
This is true, but it's not surprising, because the RIAA are idiots :p
Somewhere along the line, the music industry has decided it can control how consumers listen to music without consulting them.
yes, the evil music industry has decided that people should not illegally obtain music, and they did this without consulting the public! :eek: Oh no!! :eek:
Y'know, for all that the writer makes some good points, he sure acts like he's an idiot alot :)

Actually, I use them on my desktop as wallpapers, or for the collages I make. Idiot.
 
That's because you are a cheap idiot who doesn't buy albums, if you did then you could use a scanner to scan the covers instead of going to a site and downloading them from some idiot who has scanned them already.

But ofcourse you didn't think of that, did you, idiot.

:D
