The RIAA is after you

[Bob_Bytchin]

According to other information, there are, on average, over 3 million people on networks like Gnutella, Kazaaa etc... at any given time, trading music, movies, and games.

Now the RIAA wants ISP's to cough up the lists of users who are using these services.

When they do come knocking on your door, please don't mention my name.

They arent after me

I wont use those types of sites because I consider it stealing. Just my own belief I subscribe to, not prescribe for others.

I haven't used a peer-to-peer service since Napster began to have legal problems, and I don't use newsgroups, MIRC, or similar services either.

But I do trade songs with friends over AIM/ICQ/Yahoo/MSN. Yet, I still buy, on average, 16 CD's a year. I do my part to support the RIAA and their artists. I think that getting ISP's involved in their fight to stop trading will just hurt the internet as a whole in the long run, as well as cause music sales to plummet.

I haven't bought a cd in...oh, 7 years.

I'm all about stealing from the RIAA, though I do send 10 bucks per 20 songs I download from a badn, to the band itself.

Boy bands don't deserve the money dude.
