That should scare the crap out of the RIAA and MPAA. While they're at it, they should all resign and head on down to the unemployment line. If I was that incompetent at my day job, I wouldn't have one. The House of Representatives could do something useful for a change and make a Cabinet level position called “Anti-Monopoly Czar”.

If copying music to a PC is illegal, the music industry will die entirely - I most certainly wouldn't buy a CD if I couldn't use it on my computer because CDs are as good as dead in everything except cars; MP3 players have long taken the lead. Suing people is not the way forward either; that will just make people hate them even more. They are just seeking money, and while I can see that downloading music illegally costs them money, they should be persecuting the gangs who do it on a large scale. They need to move with the times and move forward into the digital era where electronic devices all 'communicate' and share data with each other. The RIAA need to get a life.
