I hate the fucking RIAA, If I wanted ONE song from a CD, I shouldn't have to buy the damn thing. I bought about 15 cd's since christmas, trying to support shit.. you know.. but it shouldn't be illegal, suing people for all there life savings and shit

Actually... Downloading Music Is NOT Illegal.. File Sharing Is.. If You Download A File But DO NOT Share It You Can Sit In The RIAA Living Room "Droppin Bass" And They Can't Do Jack-Shit.. Or At Least To My Knowledge..

I don't think it should be illegal...personally artists get enough money as it is, and even though records are being released early they still get theirs

I don't really care what they do thou because they won't catch me up with shit lol

aight, tell me this, why is it that I see compilation CD's of composers like Bach or Mozart on sale? These musicians weren't even on a label! Nor did anyone have the right to distribute their music. And now, centuries later, their music is getting distributed and they aren't getting money for it.

Why is it that these rich-ass white left-wing liberal jewish faggots are making money of someone elses shit?! It's one thing for a label to sign you and work out a contract on how the profit is going to be divided, but completely another thing when you take someone's music and benefit from it. When you buy Mozart's 4th Symphony album, who do you think gets this money?!

Another thing that yanks my chain is, why are surgeons, SURGEONS! who have studied 10 years to save YOUR or your daughters life make $80,000 a year and fuckin Kevin Garnett makes $12 million? Why is it that scientists, teachers and professors who apply their wisdom and knowledge to educate your children to have a decent life make so much less money then Ludacris or Chingy?!

You know my explanation for it? Injustice! Life is unfair and always has been and THAT is why these record companies are getting fucked in the ass by kids who download music! And they should put on their hard hats, like Op once said, and deal with it.

lol, see now, yall have sparked me to a point where I'm about to open Soulseek and download 10 albums today.

^^haha, basically

And Rah made the point that always gets me
The music industry will complain over little shit like this, yet you never see people with meaningful jobs say a dam thing about making less than athletes and musicians...

mu fuckas sell a million copies and the RIAA doesn't feel that as being enough income?
it's pitiful
