Isn't it funny how P2P users that share subpar music and movie files are seen by the RIAA and the US government as major criminals, worth giving so much time to stopping? Instead of using resources to go after drug dealers, the RIAA for ripping off the consumer, and other major crime lords, they go after the every day user that's just trying to enjoy a little bit of music without having to make the rich even richer.
P2P users are the worst criminals among everyone according the RIAA and the state legislators.
Yeah, and the RIAA won't tell consumers that new music releases have dropped over 25% in the past year or so...nor do they mention the sluggish state of the economy - they are just so quick to point fingers at 60 million file "swappers". It's all about fine, sweet American GREED.
[If p2p networks were not around, I would never BUY 98% of the music I download - I would just rely on the radio like everyone else used to. How many people would really buy 100% of the music they download? come on!]
This has also been said about 1,000 times in the past 2 months, sorry but its really a stale and worn out subject matter.
What are you talking about. The RIAA was busted for price fixing a few years ago. There has not been a law passed that has given the RIAA everything they have tried to get passed they are using the DMCA which was passed before file sharing got started.
The Record Companies are multinational companies too so there is no "american greed" just an industry who wants the power to force the consumer to their own will which they will never be able to fully succeed no matter how much they throw out inflated piracy losses figures and use file sharing as their scape goat for their other problems and as their justification in their war against the consumer.
This is why I've, "laid low" in this forum, because of repettish stuff like this, instead of subjects of P2P file sharing and other related subjects.Originally posted by Krell

Even though the search function sucks ass, even it gives you plentiful results on this subject.
Thats saying a lot.
You can't triple stamp a double stamp.
the riaa just wants to blame their losses on p2p even though its their own fault, they just basically want a scapegoat
Couldn't agree more

I don't get the "American" characterization of greed here. Why is it "American" as opposed to Canadian or "international" or "materialistic" ??? American greed gave us the internet and the pc as tools usable by the masses. I am greedy. I like being greedy. Whats wrong with that? Doesn't mean I'm going to rip anyone off. Without a little greed we woulden't have p2p to talk about , computers to talk about it on or an internet to p2p over. Too much greed is bad though. Maybe you are smart and actually meant "superfluous greed" or something. Maybe not. Anti Americanism is passe and cliche. Those commited to being anti-establishment are better served by being against multinational corporations rather than specific political entities. If you HAVE to go after poltical entities in order to be right with yourself, at least go after the ones that really limit internet liberty like china and germany.Originally posted by Pebbles100
