The RIAA is just plain greedy and I can deal with that. They are busting their butts to choke the life out of filesharing, and I can find ways around that. What really makes this whole thing come up as a major blip on my radar, and I'm sure others is the lengths to which they want to go to stop it. I know its been debated and discusses alot here, but I think the measures the RIAA thinks are going to win the war for them will actually be their worst mistake in a long list.

allenb > good one on the vinyl prices, I've dug through my familys' collection and none of them had a price anywhere near the range of cds. And to think that technically speaking CD's are of lower quality than vinyl (its the most accurate way to reproduce sound so far) yet we shell out sometimes twice as much for them
