What I don't get is, the more and more the RIAA does these things, the more and more people pirate their music and decide against buying them legitimately. It's no longer exclusively a case of doing so because of the pricing, but it is more a case of people's principles not allowing themselves to be screwed over by such greed or supporting those who are such kind of people. Add the fact the artists themselves can and are screwed over as well in a lot of cases, what the hell are the people at the RIAA smoking?!
 Damn, I still buy all my CDs but am buying way more imports now than ever before. I guess the RIAA should start worrying now, since people like myself are getting to the point that even we are considering giving them the finger and not buying their crap. Not that I do now for the most part! Only soundtracks, but still...  The RIAA and those who think they are of a "needed" nature, well, they need to get a clue! Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, they lose billions a year according to their stats on the topic, but still make billions as well. Then, they have the audacity to say they make less profits, when all independent reports show an actual increase in profits. Full of shit, anyone?
When it comes down to it, it's just greed, pure and simple. I assume they think because they lose money on illegal downloads that makes their profits percentage lower. Really, the numbers seem somehow fixed in my view! Like, how can they say they lost anything, when they can't know one way or another if those who downloaded would have bought the stuff to begin with... Overall, their profits are lower because people steal their music?! I don't know, but their accountants must be cheap labor, college drop-outs! http://www.boycott-riaa.com/article/5804 http://slashdot.org/articles/01/02/26/1812213.shtml A nice read here:  http://www.stentorian.com/riaa/ Most amazing jew boots
