Looks like the ISPs have finally figured out that the RIAA is not on their side. Now that the RIAA can't bully them in court, the ISPs figured out how to stand up to them.
All that is left is to make an ISPAA to stand up to the RIAA collectively in legal battles in congress and the courts. |

Stop buying CDs...hit them where it hurts. They are fighting a loosing battle. If the prices would be reasonable, then I would buy, but now...they are GREEDY. |

My guess is they didn't like being the RIAA whipping boys.
When you come in with strong arm tactics after saying you want to work with someone, you lose all credibility and no one wants to help someone who loves to show their arrogance.
Now, it is time for the RIAA to jump through hoops and play by the rules. |

Where did he say he wanted free music? Just because he says "don't buy CDs" doesn't necessarily mean he's downloading music. |

Good point, I don't download much of anything and I've bought *very* few CDs these last few years. The RIAA didn't help convince me otherwise either. First they try to freeze out used CD dealers, then they settle a huge a huge anti-trust suit, then they start suing individuals right and left for exhorbitant sums of money. I'll vote with my $$ because it's all they understand.

Geesh...the criminal mind...
So if I think new car prices are unreasonable then I have the right to "aquire" one through other means???
Maybe we need to read our own posts first? |

More Ways to Fight the RIAA Lawsuits
Don't Buy Music from RIAA Members
Executives at the major record labels--BMG, Sony, Warner, EMI, and Universal--think they can trample over families to scare the public into buying their products. We need to show them that this strategy is unacceptable and will not work. Every time someone buys a CD from an RIAA company, they are helping to fund these lawsuits. To determine whether a CD you're thinking of buying is made by an RIAA member, use RIAA Radar. |

right it's called buying USED...something the RIAA tried to stop in the mid 90's with trying to make it illegal for used CD stores to operate. Ya that was killed, obviously. Also...yer analogy of a new car is bad....u can test drive it and in some cases keep it for a day or 2. Try that with a CD LOL U can't even perview em anymore |

You're so far of. Rather then telling people to read perhaps you should just bow out and say nothing. You only make yourself look foolish. No where in this thread did someone promote free music. It's a simple fact that people dislike the tactics the RIAA tried pulling regardless of wether you upload or download. Maybe it's you that should read. |

I don't and never have downloaded music, I just hate the illegal tactics of RIAA, and they should be stopped by what ever legal means possible...I was a process server and researcher in the federal courts for 15 years, and it maddens me to watch RIAA abuse the system as they do... |
