They Don't have to stop it, now.

They don't even have to sell CDs anymore. They'll just sue the downloaders, and collect that way.

On a side note..anyone signing the RIAA confession?

PR doesn't matter,  they are right and should win.  Boroda,  I think what you did in the 80's was a bit different, being behind the iron curtain and all.

Wow... so much to talk about...

12 year old girl sued:

This must be one of those 12 year old girls that has a job and can buy their own PC, have a dedicated internet connection and provide the means to download files.  Then again, the parents that are funding and aiding in the issue might be the real plantiffs.  Don't let that stop those trying to paint the brave kazaa bandits as modern day robinhoods.

30% decline is only because new music sucks:

This is an invalid argument demonstrated by the sheer volume of mp3 downloads.  It would only be valid if there were no alternative to purchase being heavily used.

The RIAA is evil and it's OK to steal from them:

No... it's illegal to steal from them whether you happen to like the organization or not.  Someone might actually believe that a more prudent idea would be to refuse to buy their records if they don't like the organization.  Once that person decides downloading the record is OK... he is actually supporting the organization through criminal activity.  The commodity and demand is being validated.

FOR F***S SAKE

Get this into your heads. Downloading music from the internet is not stealing. It could be some other crime, but it is not stealing. How hard can that be for you  to understand?

Well, since no one can seem to understand it, why don't you explain why it is not stealing.
