Have an actual news article? Was she sharing 6000 songs or did she download them?

This reminds me of something I posted last summer. Everytime someone upgrades from 45 to LP to CD to whatever comes next... the RIAA has been collecting an immoral windfall. I think it's time to ask what they owe us!

Good point? How much money have they been making off of the way that data is transfered from them to us, and now that we have some control over it, they cry? When I finally have some control over the technology they want to take it away from me because I might share it. Boo Hoo! I have been through 8 tracks, vinyl, cassettes and now cd's abut one new format every 8-10 years and I'm sick of it. A lot of people I know stopped buying music because they cannot keep up with all the techno changes. They just listen to the radio or don't listen to music at all.
As for movies, anyone I know that actually collects DVD's (a junk piece of shiney plastic if you ask me) buys them used from movie stores or ***** from Wally world and the like, but those people want the original, with the extra features and the pretty box. People who don't care about that stuff will rent them. And it seems to me that more and more people are renting from the net based companies or getting them from p2p sources. Point being? the way media is distributed is changing, and someone is going to get left behind, and for once, it aint us.

This is similar to what has happened so many times in history. A new technology comes along displacing an old one and subsiequently reducing some financial flow and so the people who are loosing money go to the government (courts) and *****. Hey, I got an idea, how about we send these guys all of our cassettes and 8 tracks and vinyl (ok not really the vinyl, but I have to through it in there just for example) and ask for some $ back?
