Sharing would be inviting someone into your room to listen to the music. Sharing would be streaming from one computer to another, like with iTunes, you can stream music from another computer on a network. Sharing, no files are actually being exchanged.

Well, Music artists are also getting angry at iTunes now.


they say it 'contributes to the demise of the album format'

and some arent letting thier songs be sold on iTunes. And iTunes refuses to sell thier Full albums unless they let thier singles be sold.

i think eventually iTunes will be in some hot water also.

Ok, for those of you who are still trying to figur this out, THE RIAA IS LOSING!!!


This "War" on PIracy has occured before with a device we call a VCR, the "Ending" of this "Book about a War" has been written, guess what? WE WIN! yes, that's right! P2P users will WIN! All you need is an Angry congressman who has "Illegal" files o his computer, or a Police Officer using P2P networking equipment, or an Artist who has some kindof vendeta agianst the RIAA because he dind't get the right steak he ordered at a fancy dinner, and you've got one group of angry Citzens all who want the RIAA "Suits" hanging from the Gallows and shot one at a time-- BAD COMBOMNATION, Angry Fans + Angry Artists, Plus Angry Law Enforcement Officals + Hated Industry = Total Anarchy!

These guys have blown smoke before, and just wait until tthe 10 o'clock news reads "4th Grader hauled into Juvinle Hall for downlaoidng muisc!" PLEaSE! Can someone in here wake up!?! There are people at the Phne Company who TAP INTO THE PHONE GRID with their PERSONAL LAPTOPS and Downlaod at lighting spoeeds, faster than any universityc an provide! Ther Phne COmapny doesn't even CATCH these peopel though because, sadly in all turth, they are IDIOTS! Yes thast's right! These peple are LITERALLY FILESHARING under tyhe RIAA"s NOSE! And you can bet yiour last gold dollar that a few Recordign ARTISTS are ALSO Filesharing, the only ones who seemt o have a complqaint about P2P use are those whoa ctually gert PAID, ask the Average Artists just starting out, or one who's been toosed aside because they're not "Cool" anymore by today's stanadrs what they got for their CD Sales adn chances are you'll recive a response with a number along her lines of, oh ZERO! They don't care because they don't see a DIME Form it anyway! They are ALSO pissed at the RIAA for not PAYING Them, yes that's right! The RIAA is screwing both Artists AND Fans! These guys havbe tied the rope around their neck, the Soldiars are about to pull the scaffolding out frm under the gallows, all the RIAA has to do is piss of a few mre peope adn yu can bet they'll be as embarressed as Enron was, in fact they'l probably BE the next Enron, especially if they try to sue fans, this is a last resort meathod of "We're screwed, we don't know what to do, let;s HOPE this works", keep in mind all it takes is one loudmouth workng for an ISP who refuses to give out info on filesharing because saaid ISP owrker is alsoa P2P user and tyhe RUIAA is screwed, they can sue the ISP, but the ISP can countersue, and no court, except maybe one in texas or the California 9th Circuit Appeals court, would CONVICT a P2PO user! These guys at the RIAA are cutting there own throat, age doesn't ater, In fact, let them sue the 4th graders with more MP3s than even myself becauser THAT wuill be what does them in, one suit will go too far and that'll be the end of the RIAA.

Back wehn the VCR cmae out the MPAA was afraid of Piracy, saying that people would Tape movies and not see them in the theater or buy them on Video, guess what? People TAPED the movies, and THEN BOUGHT THE OFFICIAL VHS TAPE! The RIAA needs tpo learn from this, and they need ot earn this isnt a SELLER'S MARKET it's a BUYER'S MARKET adn NOBODY is forcing ANYBODY to BUY their CD;'S! If enough people avoid CD's, as hard as it will be, the RIAA will either give into P2P use or will dissapear entirely, and you can evbt some new laws will be written on what you canand can't share on a PO2P Network, as well as how youc an copy a CD for "personal Use" and this is nothing new, it occurted in the 1970's and it's just happening again now, so siyt back, relax, downlaod your songts, andthen buy the CD if it's discontinued you can always argue that "You tok it off the shelves, clearly you don't want my money!" and that if it's on shelves youc an say "Charge $0.99 a Downlaod for EVERY SON on the itnernet and I'll pay you for it!"

You can also argue that "The RIAA Does NOT have ON-aligned Aetist n thier VAULTS who may distribute MP3's via P2P networks as promotinal material, you do not cover FORIEGN MUSCI form say, an Anime SHow, and unless you have it IN YOUR VUALTS adn are willing to do a CUSTOM CD that I can BUY, you have no case agianst me!" as you can see the RIAA is growing weaker every day, peolpe are apparentlyt rying to deface their website and they're at a point now where they should be wavign a giant white falg beofre this gets ugly, lets think for a moment, do yu want angry fans and artists coming afer you? If you answered yes you're an idoit working for the RIAA, if you answered No, than you kw the RIAA is running scared, tail tucked because Fans and Artists alike are pissed at them, Rule #1 NEVER piss off the fans, rule #2 NEVER piss fo your employees if you want to KEEP them! Caspice?
