By that logic, shouldn't radio stations be considered 'illegal' because they're sharing music to thousands upon thousands of people daily? What about sites like last.fm, or yahoo music, or MSN music? The only tangible difference is that the music is saved to a person's hard drive instead of being streamed or automatically selected like how internet radio is done. <br><br>I think that the RIAA is more uptight about getting every damn penny they can squander than the artists themselves, who wrote it. Look at it this way: at least your stuff is getting listened to and someone liked it enough that they decided to let others listen. Sueing your customers is not good business at all, and on top of that, makes you look like a total asshole. Nobody likes assholes. Just enjoy the publicity you're getting.  If your music is worth listening to, then its worth buying. If no one's buying your music then put 2 and 2 together. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ninjalurk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 3:27AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
