It's not about wanting stuff for free - it's about selling a product that people want, for a fair price,

Uh, when was the las ttime you were forced at gun point to pay too much for a CD you knew would suck anyway? Where do you get the idea that you should get something for a "fair price". It sounds nice, but until those who MAKE THE MUSIC decide to not be a part of the RIAA, then too bad. Hell, artists with millions upon millons, like the Rolling Stones, or the (living)Beatles, or Russel Simmons could never use RIAA resources again, and totally buck the system, making their own distribution outlets and whatnot. You people need to ask yourselves "WHY!, Why are the musicians not leaving the RIAA".

It is my understanding that bars that feature live music are now being sued by the RIAA. For royalities? Now I do not understand how this can be. A bar hires a band (for a lot of money) the band plays, the band get's paid and later the bar is sued! Can you explain this. thanks
