“CD Ripping Should Be Illegal”, says RIAA

Listening to legally purchased music on legally purchased devices is dangerous and wrong, according to our friends at the most backward-thinking industry on earth. Even though organizations all over the world are dead-set against DRM and in favor of greater fair use rights, the industry which could most benefit from free distribution is pushing to get it stopped Right Now.

I supposed when they realized that DRM does not work, and cannot work, they decided to push for laws against trying.

The thing they’re probably going to do is make themselves totally irrelevant to the market they were formed to serve. I hope so. Serves them right.
