They appear to be out to screw over anyone they can find as hard as they can – and once they start, they seem unwilling, or unable, to stop themselves. Reminds me of the image of a mongrel dog with a rag doll.<BR/><BR/>I love that RIAA phrase "great legal ways to enjoy music". When the online music stores start selling true high quality recordings, without DRM such that it will play on any digital music player (Google Vidro and MLB purchased games come to mind as truly failed DRM), at a truly fair price (digital cost of production and distribution is far less than for CDs, but the prices aren't), with entire music catalogs represented, directly downloadable to the device (cell phone) of your choice, and without the insane markup for a partial song called a "ring tone", ONLY THEN can we start truthfully talking about great legal ways to enjoy music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
