The Recording Industry Association of America, the Big Four record companies' lobbying arm and primary legal weapon, considers the copying of songs from your own CDs to your own computer, for your own personal use, to be just as illegal as posting them online.

Dude, this is BEAUTIFUL (Yes, Remy - all caps, and bold)!
I just noticed it's almost 5 years old, but...

The reason why the RIAA comes off as a gang of ignorant thugs is because, well, how do I put this -- they are.

Period. End of sentence.

You rock BW! That is an awesome link!

BTW, you're in Canada, correct?

PLEASE, tell me you guys know better than to pay attention to ANYTHING you read, watch, or hear on Faux news? :wink:

Ya good day eh as we canucks say

Oh sure, rub in the old guy thing, LOL

Just to be really clear, though, I never share music over the net unless its my originals. just google [bwmac] and you will see what I mean.

please dont judge my recording, as most of my improvment has been in the past year. I'm still learning and upgradeing equipment.

Right, and its against the law to spit on the pavement, cheat on your taxes, cross the street against the light, oral sex in some states, speeding, smoking pot, being an honest politician in Washington DC (that's not illegal but what politician is honest?), drinking or drunk in public, menstruating without a license.

Desperate people do desperate things and it's obvious that the RIAA (Really In An Avalanche? Restricting Inconsequential American Audio? Receiving Illegal Audio Always? Recording Immaculate Audio Automatically? Really Idiotic Angry Attorneys?) Artists are artists, because they are artists. Businessmen just want all of your money. And they'll kill you to get it. I mean like who's really upset about ripping off Michael Jackson? The rich will continually get richer. The poor will continually get poorer. Thanks to the RIAA. I've never known any buddy who's made one lousy cent, from any royalties paid, on any independently produced recording, ever. So just who does the RIAA benefit? Michael Jackson.

I live a risky life and always will.

They should make a law that requires couples to have a "Kid License" because lord knows theres enough people that shouldn't have kids.

Just throwing it out. :D
