arstechnica.com — Although the FAIR USE Act introduced yesterday will have little more than a symbolic effect on the DMCA, that isn't stopping the Recording Industry Association of America from unloading on the bill with both barrels. "The DMCA has enabled consumers to enjoy creative works through popular new technologies," the RIAA said in a statement." LOL!

Doesn't it make more sense to make quality music people are willing to pay for and not crap that people will only listen to it because they downloaded it for free?Another example: A Scanner Darkly. Who here actually paid $9 to watch that piece of crap? Exactly. Now, who here not only paid, but paid more than once to watch Episode 3? See how it works?To the RIAA and MPAA. Go back to your masters and tell them. Make quality music and movies and we will pay to listen or watch it, but keep making crap and don't expect piracy to disapear any time soon.My .02/bored

There is no way to describe the laugh I just had when reading this. I hope the RIAA dies.

digg users buy their mp3s?wow only americans are buying mp3s... WEll I'm in america, and I download my music for free still. but oits only because i don't see downloading as pirating.. Movies is a different story because directors depend on those sales.

The RIAA can lick my hairy man-marbles.I just don't give a flying turd sandwich what they think, and I really couldn't care less if they went out of business tomorrow. They've simply created an adversarial relationship with the one thing that keeps them out of the poorhouse (CUSTOMERS!!!), and they continue to spit in our collective faces.Bah.

That's a backronym, not an anagram.

The RIAA is half-dead, too ... a lumbering dinosaur from another century ... thrashing around until it sinks into the pit ... <a class="user" href="http://www.paullevinson.net/archives/fair_use_bill_in_congress.phtml">http://www.paullevinson.net/archives/fair_use_bill_in_congress.phtml</a>
