The Evil RIAA says FUCK YOU to consumers!

That's right, the RIAA is at it again. No matter how much you want them to just die already, they keep on coming. So what is it about this time? They want to cripple your iPod. Right now, the RIAA is making new rules for the Digital millennium Copyright Act, and in a filing yesterday these assholes said that ripping a CD you bought, and putting that music on your iPod does not constitute Fair Use, and neither does making a backup copy of a CD for yourself. In case you missed that, let me put it into layman's terms. The Recording Industry Association of America is now claiming that if you buy a CD, a physical CD for whatever the hell they're charging now adays, and you put that CD into your computer and put the songs from that CD onto you iPod (or other mp3 player) it should be illegal. And the same goes for making a copy of that CD for yourself. Does that make sense? Am I the only one that is outraged by this? WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! Ok, now this does not mean that doing this is illegal right now, but it means that if we the people let the RIAA have it's way, it will be. Seriously people, we can't let the fuckers push us around anymore. Call or write your senator or congressman, but also click the link below to see the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) article on it. And if you have a few buck, donate to the EFF. They're the ones keeping the internet the way it should be, free!
