Where's the attack? Stating that you don't like (and possibly don't have) money is my opinion of your statements, not an attack against you.

I think you might very well be jealous of what they have..they own large quantities of money making material and aren't being hindered by the eeeeevil business world..
And, of course you think their dispicable...again, because they are making money off supposedly "relatively innocent practice"s of people stealing and sharing copyrighted music. There's nothing dispicable about that. The bottom line is they're making money off of their products and other's aren't.

Quote by: grandpa As for the serious discussion:
There is a crucial difference between merely possessing money and having intent. |
intent to possess money??

Quote by: grandpa You've arrived at the conclusion that the RIAA's intent to maximize profit has no harmful effects, that it's purely benign. |
People break the law by sharing copyrighted music. They are trying to recoup money lost by this process. Some of their means of gathering information are questionable(i'll give you that), but their over all goal is sound. If I owned the copyright on material and people were abusing it, you're damn right I'd sue.

Quote by: grandpa But I do consider the RIAA tyrannical for the reasons mentioned, and they certainly do intend some form of domination.

Such as? What kind of domination are they after? World domination by music!! That's it!
