I finally gave in and bought a 2gb MP3 player today.

How long before the RIAA has me arrested? :shrug:

I wonder why they aren't trying to make the silly things illegal- if MP3 players are outlawed, only outlaws will have MP3 players.

Fuck the RIAA.

1. Well ... that depends.

Are you going to get your mp3s via Bittorrent or file sharing? If so ... your RIAA free days may be numbered. ;)

Ripping your own cds? You're good - until they figure out how to sue people for that too.

4. Haven't you heard? They're trying to outlaw ALL ripping

Even "legitimate backups", which mine are.

[Madrone]

7. Yes, I've heard ... but I believe the case you are referring to

wasn't exactly represented correctly by the media. http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/riaa-not-suing-over-cd-ripping-still-kinda-being-jerks-about-it/

Jesus --- I feel like I've just been forced to defend the RIAA. I need a shower now. :puke:


Haha! My 225 GB (and still growing) of music and I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly however. I hate those bastards. :grr:

[Redstone]

11. Aye, there's the rub. Too bad so many people don't understand the difference.

2. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!

I know nothing about the legalities of these things...

I just wanted to say: Enjoy!

:hug:

I hope your back/legs are feeling much improved today...

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

9. I AM feeling a wee bit better today

I took the most incredible muscle relaxers last night, and this morning all was a thousand percent better. I've done nothing but laze the day away, and am a better man for it.

Or something like that... :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. But how can perfection be improved upon?

:rofl:

:evilgrin:

3. I got one for Christmas

I've been in jail now for a week.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. Yeah, well, rumor has it you deserve it for other things anyway.

Me, I'm sinless. Completely. Absolutely.

Well, there was that ONE thing, but the Cheez Whiz people said they wouldn't press it if I saw those doctors.... :shrug:

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Yes, Cheese Whiz is no substitute for proper medical hygeine.

8. BTW you'll be amazed at how much the things hold

2 gigs will hold somewhere around 40 hours of music.
