What are you lying about now? Are you talking about Clinton about whom I offer about 2/3 praise 1/3 criticism, the criticism especially about his overly pro-corproate policies?

There are big problems with the recording industry; but they're caused in part (only in part) by the increased pressures piracy puts on their business.

The solution is not to pirate, any more than the solution to bad quality in the US car industry was to start massively stealing cars.

No the solution was import cars which woke the big 3 up to quality, the equivalent was stopped dead in its tracks by the RIAA by their claim to ownership of <<<all music distributed through internet music stations, like the mob requiring protection money whether or not you belong to their organization and using the law instead of loui the legbreaker to enforce their actions.

Is the RIAA Pulling a Scam on the Music Industry?

Whatever happened to good old fashioned 'create a better music company', the way Japan raised the bar on autos, not to mention regulation as a reform?

I guess it's just easier not to, and pirate, and screw the whole industry up.

That's a problem, when the mentality becomes that a consumer is doing the industry a big favor by not stealing.
