Re: wtf?
said by Seandhi  :Not that I agree with the RIAA, but the logic is that iPods would not be nearly as popular without the products put out by the RIAA. if they didn't put any money into researching and developing the iPod, why should they get a share of revenue?

| yea but it's the same as saying the music industry get profits from every CD player sale or the movie industry getting profits off every DVD player sale or even Microsoft should profit from Every computer sale. It just doesn't make sense.
I see it as both parties benefitting mutually. Apple is helping promote all the artists on the Itunes site and the popular music is promoting sales of the Ipod. Frickin greedy RIAA ba$tard$ need to quit complaining. |

That's right, that's what the dirty buggers are asking for. "I made those cars, so I should get part of the fare you're charging as the taxi driver."
Well excu-uuuse me!
