Personally, after hearing about lawsuits against 8 year old kids, old people who don't even have computers, and dead people wou couldn't download if they wanted to, I've decided to NEVER buy or even listen to RIAA affiliated artists, producers or studios. Their actions are draconian and frankly stupid.
Because of sheer greed, they're pricing their target audience out of the market. They also claim that piracy is hurting their industry.... perhaps, but not nearly as bad as the bad press that they are generating by these actions. And they miss the point that they have all but confessed to price-fixing CDs. This makes them criminals in my eyes, and the last thing I want to do is support criminal activity. Most of the good artists are setting up home and independant studios and selling their products on-line and out of the grip of the major studios. Rather than changing to compete, they sue and bully their way through the markets. To me, they're not worth the pain they inflict on the buyers. TFC |

Still though, pirated material shouldn't be sold, and some countries really should start cracking down on them. I'm not sure how it'll help them in the long run.
