Granted this isn't the RIAA, this is just another branch in the music industry that just doesn't get it. Apparently none of the suits in the music industry are consumers themselves. They just totally miss the bigger picture and think anything that benefits the consumer will lose them money. For instance the music industry wasn't exactly thrilled about Apple wanting to sell $1 tracks, but I found picking and choosing what tracks I liked lead me to eventually buy the entire cd. Now this is where I think they are going wrong with suing XM. Lets say you do record some music you enjoy. Now lets say your browsing music at your local Walmart and you see a song or two you recognize. You check your music player and verify that that one or two songs you heard were ones you really enjoy. Odds are you'll buy that artist's cd right then on the spot. Heck I do this all the time with my iPod. My iPod has lead me to buying more cd's than I ever have. Get a clue music industry, quit trying to kill yourself and let us help make you money.
