I dont know if youve seen this already, but I just did.
Another way RIAA is tring to be fudge packers and this is over the line. As of June 20th, they are charging internet stations a royalty charge which costs over 100% of what they already make. WTF?
Along with TA, I hear about songs through the net from radio stations. How does RIAA expect ppl to buy music if they cant be exposed to the music.
Ridiculous.

OMG! this is just f'ing ridiculous I know there trying to eliminate MP3s, but At least they had some sorta argument on that one even though Iam totally opposed to it and there are a million reasons why Mp3s should be legal. But how the fuck can internet radio harm cd sales? Think about it. Internet radio is EXACTLY the same as normal radio except...well it's on the internet. So what exactly is the argument. They've got millions hating them already with the Mp3 thing, they are seriously stepping the mark now, I swear they're gonna announce world wide domination plans soon!
