the RIAA against the will of the people

what stance do you guys take on this issue with the RIAA? I think the exploitation by these corporate bastards over the years with the pricing of cd's has led to the current situation, and I propose due to the RIAA trying to grasp its hand around the american public that everyone who enjoys the benefits of the internet music trading world declare a worldwide ban on all RIAA products, until a total slashing of prices occuring, resulting in what is benefical to the average person in america, not to the corporate heads that don't even give most of the money to the artists, but instead fill their own pockets.

IE: a girl i know in a certain band would get ONLY 1 dollar from every $20 cd that her group would sell!

corporate greed will slowly swallow us all if we don't make a stand!

what do you think??

I think the RIAA should go fuck itself.

Errrr...where have you been? It already has � a long time ago.

When you think about it, this should be a call for the ARTISTS, not the labels that they produce under. Lots of artists support file-sharing because they get attention from all over the world. This is corporate greed since musicians really don't make much off of CD sales; the industry does.

Our wallets are the biggest voices we have ... and the only thing they care about.

We should create another msblaster.exe virus that targets the RIAA site instead of Windows Update
