| Sue RIAA for bandwidth spam...
Now isn't this irony?
RIAA is actually hogging bandwidth (Torrent) with illegal (to whom?) files (sabotage). I bet they even (in their arrogance) factor in these files as illegal downloads that affect their bottom line. "these illegal fileswapping networks are costing us millions of dollars"
Right.
I wouldn't be surpriseed if their files have cost innocent folks hundred of dollars in support because the computer owner was unaware their children were using this stuff (I know this as I've had to bail many parents, and inform them, of their teen's music swapping...and most are unaware what their friend's told them to install...honest...I've seen it. Could have bought a new Dell for the cost..yet cheaper than a RIAA strong-arm guilt threat)
It is so simple: CD prices need to be $5.99 and $9.99 (doubles). This BS of setting a low "intro" price then jacking it up after 14 days is WHY the music industry must dry up and change its model. Why not make the CDs $14.99 for first 2 weeks, then $9.99 after? BS I tell ya.
(sorry for the rant. Just irks me that rather than selling like GM is now, RIAA is about greed. And don't preach to me about economics and entertainment as GNP, they still can't stop the pirates that make dupes RIGHT under the CD Press house noses...or the movie dupes BEFORE the film hits screeners!)
