is there such thing as the RIAA radar, but to find out if a record is copy-protected or not?
(i know you can check on the cd case at the record store of course, but when ordering on amazon or something, you don't know....)

i'm not that keen on checking if the cd or vinyl i bought in the record shop is copy protected or not.
tho,it's funny to see riaa struggle to extinguish something that music industry selfmade.

copy-protection? ha!
somewhat related - i heard there was a study done by a collegic institution that showed that music downloads had NO effect on music sales - it in fact boosted them. when will the industry realize that online music downloading is the ultimate marketing tool?

plaster > yeah... it's "funny" or just annoying at first, when they're just closing p2p networks... and then, they put copy-protections on cds... and then, arrest people and fine them with astronomic sums of money... and then, get really angry and start to be really dangerous: they're the ones who made the french government adopt fascist laws about internet control.
and this doesn't make me laugh anymore. at all.
people always say they will never win the war of p2p networks etc, that pirates will always be stronger..... but i seriously doubt this.
Oddioblender > i think they're just... either stupid, either stubborn as hell, either just willing to piss everyone off. probably all three.

i can just say it's funny cos i didn't have riaa on my back,so i'm not that aware of the consequences.
ok,we all know that music industry has it's own laws,but hey if we would all go by the book,we shouldn't play music anywhere except for ourselves @ home.
it's also rediculous to give ppl such penalties for owning mp3's or whatever pirated material.
damn,the goverment should end up some real crime,stuff that really harms the society,not some music downloading business.
imo...they don't know what to do so they pray for the weakest,and that's us.

copy protection = lame and useless
if you can play it you have to read it, so you can copy it

The RIAA lose sales because their advertising becomes inaffective, i.e., people have access to music that doesn't have million dollar ad campaigns, so people buy from labels that aren't RIAA affiliated.
