If any lawyers out there are reading this please help in this cause. I believe that now is the time for us all to get together and think about suing the RIAA and the major record labels for being in collusion to artifically inflate the cost of CD's much, much higher then they need to be. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT...WE ALL NEED TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE AS THEY ARE INFRINGING UPON US...LETS DO IT TO THEM!!!! It has been proven, time and time again that the average costs to produce a CD are substantially lower then it used to cost to produce a tape of the same artist/music. Yet the RIAA/Record companies are selling it to the consumers of the world at highly inflated prices to line their pockets with profits. So once the internet came along, what did the consumers do? We started the P2P revolution because we are all SICK AND TIRED OF PAYING UPWARDS OF $18-$20 FOR something that should only cost $10-$11. I firmly believe we have a vaild case here, but I need help in getting this idea/possible litigation going. A few years back Wal-Mart declared that they would start selling CD's for $11 and the RIAA/Record Companies cried "FOUL" and eventually got things to change back (or perhaps WAL-Mart did on their own, I'm not certain). The worlds biggest retailer validated the point that record companies are charging excessively high prices to consumer for music. Hell the record companies are solely responsible for file sharing of music on-line because they plain and simply charge too much for music. A few years back Congress ordered the cereal makers of America, yes Post, Kellogs, etc. to consider lowering their prices of cereal because they believed they were overinflating the price. Now people, listen up, we are talking about a $5 box of corn flakes, and Congress saw the light, why wouldn't they on a $20 CD that should be selling for no more then $11, they just need to be informed of the idea. We need to get this idea out there, into the media, to the politicians, to whomever will listen that can help out in changing this possibly illegal price fixing. The main point here is that the record companies/RIAA will never admit this, and the P2P phenom is one indirect way to prove that the public is sick of the collusion and illegal price fixing by these companies. IF ANYBODY HAS A LAW BACKGROUND AND CAN HELP WITH THIS...PLEASE DO SO...I PERSONALLY WANT TO GET THIS IDEA OUT THERE BUT DON'T HAVE THE BACKGROUND TO KNOW WHERE TO START...WE CAN WIN THIS BATTLE FOLKS, THEY ARE GOUGING US, ILLEGALLY, AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED, AND THEY MUST DEFINITELY BE STOPPED FROM SUING US FOR REACTING TO THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES SIMPLY BY OUR SHARING FILES ON P2P's. LETS FIGHT BACK!!!
