Kyyle23 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 these guys can all go f*** themselves. Im sick of them inventing new and clever ways to stick their fingers into my bank account. I have a collection of well over 1000 cds, Im not about to re-acquire $10,000+ worth of music just because these guys think I am not playing fair.

RockRaines Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 They are saying that even copying cd's is illegal, wonder what they think about my copying of DVD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 They always were. The music industry "pirating" problem is a problem only for the big business "rape the artist" side of the industry for the most part. Yeah, I download music. But if I like the band, I buy the CD. Or I go to the show. But I support the artists I like, period. If I don't I stop listening to the mp3, because it and they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Well, it used to be you could only download music if you owned the CD (that was what they considered fair) they are just money hungry and can all eat dicks somewhere small and uncomfortable. What? Like the back of a Volkswagon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Next thing you know they'll say you should buy a new copy every time you want to listen to it. I can hear it now.... "The record labels put a lot of time and expense into creating these discs, and to use the same CD over and over and over, with no time limits or limit to number of plays, really isn't fair to the poor, poor media conglomerates who do such a fine public service providing these goods to the consumer. A one-play per disc concept is really the most equitable way to show gratitude to the record companies, so we're calling for such a concept today."

He told me that the money that bands make off of an album is a pittance compared to the money they make off of tours and merchandise. I buy cds I like, and a download also. I have been to too many concerts to count(although very few lately), and I think I have done a great job of supporting the artists I like. Like I said, the RIAA is just trying to find new ways to take money from me and I dont appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on the Daredevil soundtrack, the official MLB 2001 video game(i dont remember if it was 2k1 or MVP 2001), I lived with them for about a year, right up until they moved out to California to "hit it big". They did good, toured on the Nintendo Fusion tour and briefly with Pearl Jam, but they broke up after their egos blew up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously...if I purchase a CD I have the right to play it on whatever system I want. If that means putting it on my computer and creating a collection to listen to via my harddrive or by putting it on an MP3 player. RIAA can go f*** themselves. I actually supported the whole download thing when they brought it up, but this is beyond ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:03 AM) these guys can all go f*** themselves. ^^^^^ Apple has bent over backwards to make piracy pretty tough. This is the digital equivalent of the $1.00 "blank tape tax" the RIAA pushed for in the 80s. If you own a CD and rip it for your own use, you are well within your rights, and the RIAA is not going to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 They can put whatever restriction they want on the music, someone will just find a way to steal it anyway. The music industry will just lose more money when bands have a really hard time promoting themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWs OK for Me Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The motion picture industry I know is getting extremely serious over this. I've talked to one of my law professors who is also part of a practice in Madison (not just an academic). He tells me that one of the biggest clients they have is the motion picture assosciation (forgot what the actual acronym is). He says that there are currently over 300 cases in the greater Madison area alone, with each one settling for around $4000 with little exception!!! So if you are downloading music or movies beware, you never know who is lurking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
