Because the folks like RIAA have the public scared they'll get sued for doing so! Isn't it a wonderful tactic they use, "go after your customer"? nd I don't think ANYONE in their right mind REALLY thought iTunes would shut down. If CRB had raised the rate, that increase would have just been passed right along to the buyer. Why Dave? Because the folks like RIAA have the public scared they’ll get sued for doing so!

Why would anyone buy a ringtone, vs. simply buying the full song, and exercising their fair use rights to create a ring tone from it?
