What do you think about the PRO-IP? http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/152214/bush_enacts_proip_antipiracy_law.html
As one has come to expect from Bush et al its very supportive of big business whilst continuing the tradition of shafting the consumer. Exactly what the RIAA wanted. Wonder how much it cost? Dear RIAA, Its a broken business model get over it, move on... Stop ****ing suing your customers.... ktnxbye
I've taken to buying all my music at used CD stores. I get music, no direct RIAA support and support local business, works fine for me that way.
That's an excellent idea... I briefly considered donating £20 to the relevant game developing company every time I pirated a game, and just never buy anything from a shop again. Places like Game and Amazon take huge cuts, it's actually not that great for the creators. I've heard local musicians plead people to buy their CDs from them directly, from their site, rather than from Amazon and highstreet retailers, because they get so little of the profits.
