The RIAA has a habit of citing our blog to judges, so please keep comments dignified and worthy of the important issues we are discussing, in keeping with our comment policies. If you see a violation of the policies, please let me know by email. You can post anonymously, but must sign off by giving us something to call you. Conversations among several people called "Anonymous" get too confusing. Thanks. Best regards. -Ray
In 1968 I bought the song, "Mrs. Robinson" on a 45rpm record. In 1972, I bought an 8 track of the album with "Mrs. Robinson" on it. In 1989, I bought a cassette tape of the album with "Mrs. Robinson" on it. In 1998, I bought the CD of the album with "Mrs. Robinson" on it. In 2004, I downloaded "Mrs. Robinson" to my computer. Now I find out that LimeWire is under attack by those lovely fun righteous folks at the RIAA. Now I am afraid that I'm going to be paying for "Mrs. Robinson" yet again, only this time the price will be a bit more than Simon & Garfunkel intended all those years ago.
