RIAA Propaganda - The Single Stupidest Site On The Internet

I've done it, I've found the dumbest site on the entire internet! No, it's nut a video of monkeys doing it, it's the RIAA's new propaganda site called MusicUnited.org. Here is a direct quote from the "Who Cares" section.

whether you’re talking about using peer-to-peer services like Kazaa or Morpheus to "share" digital music files with millions of people on the Internet or about compiling a collection of your favorite songs and then using a CD burner to make copies for all your friends, copying and distributing copyrighted music without permission is illegal and it’s a drag.

So, I guess this means it's no longer ok to backup your own music either? I am now seriously considering suing the RIAA for spreading complete stupidity around the globe. These idiots are so attached to their business model that it's scary. IT'S CALLED TECHNO EVOLUTION. When are these guys (sony in particular) going to realize that people want to download music. People want to use it on any device they choose. People are going to share music no matter what. It's never going to stop, it's only going to go more digital. Now, I'm not saying that people shouldn't pay for music, of course not (hell I've got good friends in a band). But they need to get together and colaborate a newer better way to distribute it. AND THEY NEED TO STOP BEING SO DAMN GREEDY!!! There needs to be a place to downlaod any song by any band by any record label, that will play on any mp3 player. It's called Fair Use. If I buy an album or a song, I want to be able to use it however i want. The current online music stores are the first step but they're not there yet. I buy a song and I want it to work on my stereo, my computer, my Creative Zen Vision:M (when i get one) and whatever else I want to play music on. DRM (digital rights management) is not the way to go, Suing file sharing companies is not the way to go, and stupid scare tactics like musicunited.org is not the way to go. Hell, the only reason I still buy CDs is because there is no online music store that will let me do whatever I want with my music. When will these companies lear that by limiting our options of what to do with the music, they are only encouraging free filesharing. Because if you download an mp3 off of Kazaa or Limewire, you're gonna be able to play it anywhere with anything. So here's my words for the RIAA - DON'T FIGHT DIGITAL EVOLUTION! FIND A NEW BUSINESS MODEL THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO USE THE MUSIC AS THEY SEE FIT! Becuase if they don't, they're just encourageing file-sharing. And that's the drag!
