[QUOTE="Kurashu, post: 3527104, member: 41198"] The RIAA does bully college students because it makes for better press and, most of the time, lack the funds to fight back their expensive lawyers. However, I love how the RIAA is going on about how they're protecting artists when artists usually only get a minimal amount of money per track. Artists get charged for packaging, art work, and other fees when they're music is sold electronically... when there is no need for packaging and a flat fee could be used for artwork. And it's not people who download music completely abandon the music industry and just steal from it. These people usually download some tunes that they're reccomended and then go buy the CD if they like 'em. There's also concerts, merchandise, et cetera. But I suppose the RIAA doesn't get a cut of those. There does need to be legislation dealing with downloading of music, I'll agree to that. The process shouldn't be lawsuit, lawsuit, lawsuit. As for the RIAA assuming that EVERY CD-R is used for bootleg copies? That's absurd. As I'm writing this, I'm waiting for a friend to come over so I can get pictures off her camera to burn onto a CD.
