Re: Yeah right
Very true, I like your analogy. And I am tired the way big businesses decide that its alright to screw the customers. The RIAA also seems to forget about the fair use laws, they should also have to prove that all these people have never owned any of the music they have, in any type of media. For instance, I own GTA Vice City. The game has some good 80's music on it, and anytime I want to listen to that, I just have to pop the game in and hop in a car and let the music play. Well, thats kind of a pain in the ass, so I just went and downloaded a few of the songs from the game. If I already own the "right" to listen to the music by owning the game, cant I also trnasfer said music to an mp3 and listen to it on my pc? Also, many years ago, when I was about 13 or 14, I bought STP's first album, about 4 years later, my cousins stereo decided it wasnt gonna let me have the cd back, so it got scratched when I had to take it out. So the other day I went and downloaded all the songs I liked off of that album. According to them, that is my "right" since I paid for the damn cd. Just because I dont still have the ruined disk or a receipt doesnt mean that I didnt own the stupid thing. Thats what the RIAA should have to prove in court.
