I never trusted the amnesty thing anyways. You know that they are going to continue watching you, so its useless to just "give in".

I don't think they will. I mean just look at who they represent THE MUSIC industry. In all honesty they loose what maybe 25% of sales to pirates. Thats still millions of dollars a year.

Neither side will win.

In the end it will be more of a compramise. Though neither side would admit that.

people will eventually settle on the sites you have to pay for songs. but IMO it will be the newer ones like the new napster that will have Montly payment instead of per song that will be the main ones.

I don't even think there will be a compromise because people will never give into paying for what they can get for free. I mean you can still put a tape into a tape deck and record music. There is no diffrence there then doing MP3s. Someone will come up with something new to pirate music, ect...

The RIAA (Retarted, idiotic Ass-ociation of Ameriica) is a sick and pathetic Union group.

Notice how most artists could care two ****s less about you downloading their songs, and some ENCOURAGE it!?! This is because they usually make a nice fat $0 off of CD's from rigged contracts.

The groups I'm seeing that are pissy about P2P Sharing are biug name contracts who have $50 Million dolalr deals, and forgot that at one time they'd have welcomed filesharing themselves.

Also it's nice to see the RIAA's biggest enmeis are a 12 year old Girl, a 56 Year old Grandfather of two and a 56 Grandmother witha Mac who uses Kazza and Downlaods "Snoop Dog" (Whaddup Gran muh?) which when you think abut it , is physically impossible since, oh MAC'S DON'T SUPPORT KAZZA!

Hoenstly the RIAA Deserves to be sued for their BS Amenesty program, and I'd like to point out no law explicitly sates "Sending Music to you friends is illegal" no law, at all, and since this is an Intellectual property suit, they've now raised an important quiestion, since the IP is in the ahnds of so many now, is it still protected under IP Rights?

Also you have to think for a moet at the term "Scare tactics" scare pdeople out of fiileshgaring, if nobody is scared, they won't stop, and evntually the RIUAA caves.

I agree with Null, in a wway this is a "War" and we're going to have soem sort of "Armistice" with the RIAA after the suits are finished and sicne a few artists are pissed at the RIAA it stands to reason that these guys are in a hurry to crush any dissent like a bad communist dictatorship.

IN the end stores like iTunes will probably evolve nto the future of Pay music, but I have one problem with iTunes that even the "NO monthly subscription fee" can't fix and that's the alck of J-Pop and Soundtarcks I want music from.

I have odd tastes for stuff that's almost impossible to find as it is and if the RIAA has removed a CD from production they shouldn't eb ael to bitch about the copyright laws: Translation if you want to protect it, than have it availablee and do't coimplain when you loose money on it, if the stuff i waanted form teh 60's was readily avilabe I'd have it, but it's not, I got one song off of iTunes but any J-Pop/Rock and Anime songs are a no go, until this is fixed I stil have to reply ona Buddyf or most of this stuff, now think about that, the CD'sa re out there but you can't legallly get a download, I have no probelm wth a buck a sng, but I ahve a prooblemw hen the song I want isn't there. The enw napster wil suck, Pressplay is becomiing the enw napster and they're pretttty crappy as it is, the RIAA is ina too litle to late situation, if they don't figure thhings out soon they're going to have no CD Sales instead of "Few" and with scheduled boycotts and people sueign them in treturn we're seeiing that P2P users arfen';t going to take the RIAA's crap anymore, goood to see this.

You kmnow, theyc omplaoina bout loosing money, but they're making a large ammount anyway, maybe their should eb a cap on how muchyou can amake forma song befre peopel can filesahre it, this way nobodyc an say they've lost money on particular songs, and everyone has a fiar chance at selling a song.
