RIAA does not give up....

They are now trying to scare users of 2P2 into quitting file sharing by sending them instant messages via chat. Bwahahahaaaaa... Silly bastards! I can see the average file swapper saying "that's it, the RIAA tells me I should not do this, so I'll quit right away!" The latest court case did not go their way (well, they will appeal it of course) so now they are going to try this. They would be much smarter if they followed Apple's lead... I think their ITunes Music Store is a brilliant move! You pay 99c for a song, download it straight away (after you listen to it first), you can burn it on CD as often as you like... Right now it's only available in the USA, for Mac owners (yessssss, Mac is great, when I win the lottery I'll buy me one, for now my old Dell PC will have to do!). The moment it becomes available in Europe, for PC, I'll be one of their first customers. I'm saving for an iPod right now! Over the years, I've bought thousands of CD's for hundreds of good songs. High time the industry was modernised. Of course, if this hits off and I hope it will, new artists will be able to offer their music here too, the days of stifling recording contracts and making obscene profits from (generally) underpaid artists will be over. Perhaps that is the real reason the RIAA has been fighting this development with all they have.
