I love how RIAA likes to talk all this shit and sue people left and right and have stupid laws imposed without ever actually thinking about the affects outside of "protecting" musicians rights.

The fact is, they don't even care about the musicians, they only care about the big record labels. I would be willing to put a year's salary on the fact that 90% of artists just want their music out there and are against the RIAA. Most record labels are against the RIAA, with the exceptions only being the big name labels.

And what about people like me who volunteer at a community radio station? I use Winamp's StreamRipper to record every one of my shows so that I can listen to them later and find out what needs to be improved. And improving my radio show gets more people to listen and ultimately more people HEARING the music. Did it mention that I do an entirely NEW music radio show? So having people actually listen to my radio show because it's well put together exposes the new music to people so that they can actually go out and buy it.

WHAT A CONCEPT!!!

The bottom line is, RIAA has proven that they are completely incapable of thinking about anything beyond a simple action A causes response A. The world is not that simple and a simple action has many responses and each of those responses trigger other responses and so on. ]]>Jan 15th 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/
I got pretty angry seeing my senator up there until I realized that it was just a generic photo of "congress".

Make NO mistake – it’s ALL of them. EVER SINGLE ONE. This has NOW become a question of us against them! Average Joe vs. US Government -- Not Repubs and Demie, so don’t be fooled by that crap any more – that’s what they want you to think.

when are we going to seem more hardware manufacturers flexing their lobbying muscle to battle mandatory DRM-crippling of their devices? I realize that some of the big ones (Sony) have an in-house conflict of interest because they are also content creators, but others should have their checkbooks out ...]]>Jan 15th 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/You should wise up...this is not a democrat/republican thing.

Democratic senator, Dianne Feinstein, is spearheading this thing.

OMG, Robert… What the F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU! Why/How could you say something so F_cking RACIST!! What does Mexicans have to do with the RIAA and Recording devices???

You need serious therapy, because only a sad and sick mind would connect rich white politicians with poor Mexicans. One has NOTHING TO DO with the other.

Ironically, all your hatred should be aimed at the rich WHITE politicians – because they are the one’s that are screwing you. (Although it’s easier to blame the poor Mexicans – right Hilter?)

Actually, I can answer my own question. Unlike every other industry, the recording industry has failed to change its business model with the change of technology. And from this bill, it looks like the government is just going to protect them again. What really needs to happen is that they need to figure out why music is being stolen, and take some real, proactive, non legislative measures to fix losing money.

I'm all for fighting for consumer rights but sometimes you have to pick your battles. As far as I'm concerned, internet "radio" is something you turn on, maybe change the channels to find something you like, and you listen to it for a few minutes or hours or whatever, then you turn it off. Why would you even want to record it? What is the point of that?

I mean it's already FREE for christ sakes, how much more "free" do you people really want it??

If you're going to fight battles, how about fighting for less restrictions on things that we PAY FOR such as downloaded music (legal - iTunes/etc..) and CDs.]]>Jan 15th 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/Jan 15th 2007 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/15/senators-pushing-for-more-limitations-on-internet-satellite-ra/
As far as I'm concerned people have the right to try to protect their content as they see fit and if the consumer doesn't like it they don't have to buy it, simple as that. If enough people cancel over this issue then they will have to rethink it won't they? But, I highly doubt that will happen since probably 98.7% of people that listen to satellite "radio" do just that, listen.. and never record it nor would they care to.
