Comment on Yo, RIAA, you’re killing the golden goose by Sam

I was actually in a riot once. I didn’t mean to be; me along with almost everyone else started off planning an exuberant yet peaceful celebration. The police originally had the sympathy of the crowd who honestly didn’t want to start any trouble. In their misguided attempt, however, to show how tough they were, the police came down hard on a few kids who I honestly believe would have moved along peacefully given a friendly warning. They slammed the kids down hard and handcuffed and arrested them. I will never forget the response of the crowd. You could just feel the hatred towards the police who were outnumbered at least 100 to 1 and were forced to give up and retreat.

It wierd but that seems to be what’s happening with the RIAA police effort. The music industry failed to deliver a solution for people to purchase downloaded music and instead came out with billy clubs against overwhelming numbers of their own fans. Recent mixed efforts may be too little, too late. The crowd has turned against them.

It seems as though the music business must get back to truly developing talent. The team that can do this effectively will render some great recording artists and garage bands. Thank you for the information.

Comment on Judge Wake & the RIAA… on crack? by MuzikDudenc

Well first off, No Judge can rewrite Copyright Law nor render any verdict that goes against any current laws. If a Judge did indeed make this decision that Judge needs to be REMOVED from duty and return to Law School. Get me the info and if true I will be more than happy to visit Judge and explain “Fair Use” as defined under U.S. Copyright Laws.

Now as for RIAA, I would LOVE to have them tell me I cant rip a CD and put it on my ipod. RIAA has made statements in the past saying it IS OK.

In the US Supreme Court, the record company lawyers said:

The record companies, my clients, have said, for some time now, and it’s been on their Website for some time now, that it’s perfectly lawful to take a CD that you’ve purchased, upload it onto your computer, put it onto your iPod. There is a very, very significant lawful commercial use for that device, going forward.

So someone is Wrong here and this Judge is an Idiot. I would LOVE to see RIAA or a Judge tell me I cant make a copy of a CD for my ipod. I would tell the Judge he has NO Authority what so ever to make that decision, he needs to return to Law School and he can kiss my butt. YES I have been a smart ass with several Judges in the past and sure I will be in the future. (Having a copy of related Laws with me Im sure has been my only saving grace)

Now I should also add that I have been active in the Entertainment/Music industry for 20+ years and if I was told No One can copy/rip a CD for personal use anymore I know for a FACT you would see me on the News.

Personal Notes:
Judge Wake: Get your crap together or get off the bench, you have No Clue what your talking about and you cant change Laws.

RIAA: Violating Copyright and Pirating are one thing but to make copies for “Personal Use” is far from Illegal. Your money would be of better use to Reward your customers not drive them away. Oh yeah I have 1500+ songs I have riped from CDs to put on my ipod, come take me to court or shup up.

Roumor has it, since Industry Professionals are now more anoyed with RIAA than consumers, the days of RIAA are numbered. When artist start leaving the lables and ALL research (except RIAAs) show file shareing is NOT the reason CD sales are down, it seems the only group in the dark is RIAA.

I wasn’t sure that tracks from such varied genres would fit together, but you get a perfect flow from one to another. That’s a great showcase for the quality of the music found on MP34U!

Katie, we agree. plus consider the biggest members of the Record Industry Association of America are foreign owned, especially if you consider the American holdout is controlled by a Canadian.

Not only is the public learning to live without the RIAA, but musicians are learning to live without them too. From well known bands that have been on big labels for years to small indie bands, they are finding a better way for themselves and are earning more money and taking control of their music and bands.

Not only are we learning to live without the RIAA, we are discovering music that you would have never allowed us to find on the record store shelves! There is so much music worth listening too that’s not on the radio or on the end cap of Walmart!
