Those wacky, wacky music executives
Oct. 3rd, 2007 11:20 amThe RIAA insists that ripping your own CDs is stealing.
I have no idea what the logic behind that one is. I mean seriously... I think they're more than a little overboard about piracy, but at least there is some logic backing it, however fallacious the RIAA's interpretation of the cause and effect relationship between file sharing and the drop in profits they're experiencing may be. But WHERE is the logic here? You change the format of a song you have legally purchased and this is theft? Do they actually expect people to buy a song twice just to listen to it on their computer? I suppose they probably want you to buy it three times, once on CD, once for your PC, and once for the ipod! Oh, and a fourth time if you want to let your sister copy it onto her laptop to listen to in the other room. *rolls eyes* Loonies!
