Record Industry is shady

Did you know that the Record Industry said it was illegal to rip mp3 music from CDs last week. I was flabbergasted.

If that is the case, any person who transferred the contents from a CD to their ITunes account would be subject to the law. This also means that all music being played on mp3 players could only come from digital media sources like Apple and Rhapsody.

So basically, the RIAA decided to give all of their business to Apple and to Rhapsody.
Not too clever. People who rip mp3s buy CDs. Isn't that the goal of the RIAA? They make money when people buy CDs.

I guess they realized the error of their ways and recanted.
