If I want a certain piece of music I buy it with money, I don't try to get it free on the internet or any other way. I'm a carpenter, if you want a fence built or any other thing around your house, I actually work and charge money for it so I will have funds to buy music and things I like. I've lived my whole life that way and never once tried to steal anything or get it for free. I don't know anything about the RIAA and never even heard of them but if they want to get paid for a product they own, it's okay with me.

You should be sending checks to the RIAA when you listen to music on the radio, then.

That's stealing too, you know.

[blam]

Sounds right to me too. Stand your ground.

So what does that have to do with the fact that the RIAA wrongly accused an individual of stealing music and your stupendous comment?

It's a trade organization that represents record labels, not artists. In fact, at the same time as it sues consumers, the RIAA is famous for trying to cut the royalties artists get from the labels. Small wonder that there is a rising tendency to, now that the Internet has become the market, to cut out still another set of middlemen.
