Beware the wrath of the RIAA. No, really. Now they’re really going to sue individual file-swappers. Can we say stupid? In the first place, they can sue, but these people don’t have money. Sure, it may stop them, but more will show up in their place. If the industry wants to raise sales again, they need start with the root of the problem. Lower the price of cds, find better quality of music and don’t just market it to teenyboppers because, hello, we’re all not mindless airheads having emotional breakdowns because the boy next door looked at us the wrong way, and stop treating all file-sharers like criminals. Many people, myself included, like to sample music, have to sample music before we decide whether we do want to pay 20 bucks for a cd. It’s a bit tiring let alone expensive having to pay for a cd that only has one worthy song. It’s just not going to happen.
If the RIAA does begin suing, then I think there should be a boycott. Let the greedy bastards bleed.
