- Thinker10, on 05/07/2008, -2/+45Sharing is caring.
- TRScheel, on 05/07/2008, -2/+28The internet is full of free stuff that people still make money off of. You'd think that if the RIAA spent as much money as they do on suing people to find out how to market their music in a way that the people can get it for free AND they can make money off it they'd probably be swimming in cash by now.
- rakajj, on 05/07/2008, -1/+24Sharing is caring, the RIAA needs to be done away with, they are a waste of space.
- WCL23, on 05/07/2008, -1/+18Net Neutrality is vitally important. The internet is an amazing resource and should be protected. Piracy on the other hand is not theft, it's copyright infringement. It harms content producers, but not to the extent they are claiming, and in my opinion is largely their fault. The number one cause of piracy is a lack of content availability, and the second being the content that is available is priced too highly. Seriously, i've lost count of the number of times that the only way to get the content I want is through piracy. It really pisses me off. For years they just bitched and whined about Napster in it's hay day, and were ridiculously late to the market with legal mp3 sources like iTunes. You would have thought they would have learned from that, but no, we are STILL asking for things that refuse to be made available, yet are freely available and DRM free on Torrents. WAKE UP CONTENT PROVIDERS!
- mrsteveman1, on 05/07/2008, -0/+15Fighting piracy more important than a neutral network....
No, it really isn't. - BXRWXR, on 05/07/2008, -1/+14Unless it's an STD.
- 40yrOldVirgin, on 05/07/2008, -1/+13...and copyright is piracy infringement.
- Shawshanksr, on 05/07/2008, -1/+13it would be cool if a group of internet nerds started a battle against the RIAA.... like anonymous except they could call it ***** THE RIAA
- IAmTheGuy, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11I do enjoy life without popular music.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -5/+16***** THE RIAA IN THE EAR.
- wukillabee, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11i like to pirate everything i own in my hard drive
- arrriaa, on 05/07/2008, -0/+10Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Being a pirate is alright to be,
Do what you want ‘cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate! - Peko, on 05/07/2008, -1/+11Misleading headline much? Yeah, the RIAA stuff was in there but it really wasn't the thrust of the article. You could add that to any article. "Ebert thought Iron Man was an exciting summer movie and thought Downey Jr. did a good job of playing the difficult character. The RIAA basically ignored the movie and added important thoughts that piracy was more important than Downey's performance"
- Shawshanksr, on 05/07/2008, -2/+12riaa! the *****
- ChristBehemoth, on 05/07/2008, -2/+11***** the RIAA
fullstop - juusux, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9this is hilariously idiotic. a neutral net stopping innovation? locking everything down isn't innovation. innovation would be to upgrade the backbones and what not to be able to handle the demand that already exists. besides, multimedia such as streaming video from websites like youtube is taking up more bandwidth these days than peer to peer file sharing.
- krnldmp, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9I don't care how ISPs innovate so long as they figure out ways to pass any and ALL data as fast as possible. It is not the job of ISPs to modify it.
- arsenyv, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9Good thing you read the article so well.
- h4mx0r, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8You know, everytime someone makes these stupid announcements, like the RIAA, or perhaps some game developers saying that they are implementing new anti-piracy measures, or something else stupid along these lines, it really makes me wonder if they ever listen and absorb anything that gets said outside of their inner circles...
- moletimer, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9***** thee, riaa.
- BushStoleMyBike, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7Copying a CD that I BOUGHT and PAID FOR to my iPod is in NO WAY stealing a copy. Just like when I used to buy LPs and copy them to cassette to listen to in my car. Same thing. Not stealing.
- dsmx, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6So is it wrong then to want something that can be used on everything you own, because this is what the RIAA wanted to stop. They want you to have to pay multiple times to use it on every device you own. They want to dictate what you can use music on, they don't want you to have a say.

YAR!. - kirado4, on 05/07/2008, -1/+7let the RIAA kill the internets.. and watch as they lose even more money..!
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -1/+7Butt-pirates are the only pirates the RIAA should be involved with.
- fivefootfour, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6And soon so will everyone else. Oh no, where will we get our *****, prefabbed ***** to listen to? We'll have to actually listen to real music made by real people. Sounds perfect to me.
- dsmx, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Up until now we were allowed to use music on any device we wanted we could take it over to someone else's house and play it on there stereo. The whole DRM thing is about stopping people from sharing music to improve their profit margin but it backfired badly and they have only succeeded in driving more people to piracy.
- Gman1223, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5You had me until 9/11.
- moletimer, on 05/07/2008, -2/+7We are ***** THE RIAA
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us (to download pirated music and films)... - Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5RIAA! Thou shall be *****! Apparently.
- luchid, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4You don't understand the issue. How could passing a law stating ISPs should not interfere with the traffic flowing thorugh their infrastructure change the amount of competition?
- Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Wrong. The RIAA is a rim job. On an unwashed ***** at that.
And digg. Please quit punishing me for knowing how to type. - bdbr, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Funny that the one who actually understood the fact that neutrality has led to innovation is a politician.
- lazyfisherman, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4I hear ya. Their arguments about what is stopping innovation make no sense. Let the Internet be free, upgrade the pathetic infrastructure taxpayers already paid for but the Telcoms failed to deliver and innovation will happen.
- fivefootfour, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4No matter what they do, I'm never paying for music again. If I can't get their music for free I'll listen to the music I can. Plenty of people, unsigned and unaffiliated with the RIAA, are releasing songs and albums online. filters like Myspace help to find the better artists and none of it costs anything. The only innovation net neutrality is stifling is finding another way to squeeze another penny out of every transaction. This kind of innovation we don't need.
- swimmin00, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3Ear sex is all the rage with the kids these days... remember to use protection: bring q-tips.
- Nitrodist88, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Common_misun ...
- fivefootfour, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2This is exactly what I want the government to do. Ideally, the government should be acting to protect our best interests against people like ISP's. If they didn't regulate the market, corruption would be insane and you wouldn't get *anything* these organizations don't think you should have, legally or not.
- robbob, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2...more important to THEIR agenda
- hobbitontherock, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2It's about time. The RIAA is full of douchebags.
- whahaa, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3as if they're not swimming in cash anyway...
- JoelBakan01, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Agreed!
- insanecee, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4what?.... busy watching iron man.... ***** war machine bitches.... (prolly download that too)
- NYankee2003, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1in south park imagination land voice: "ouch"
- Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I don't wonder. I know they don't.
- pigfister, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Name and shame anti-consumer ppl, and spread the word on who to boycott.
The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX. - Abomonog, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Well the RIAA is based in San Francisco I believe...
- lazyfisherman, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3The RIAA is a stinky old digleberry on the asshairs of the Internet. Compared to the importance of Net Neturality issues and the future of web innovation, their self-serving business concerns do not matter.
