Imagine buying a book from Barnes & Noble and being sued by them for allowing your brother to read it.
You do that? You like to live dangerously, don’t you?
Whatever you, don’t REMEMBER anything you read or listen to! They’ll be coming after your brain soon.
Correct. Under the RIAA anytime you lend a book out that you have already read, you are a criminal. Ever borrow someone's book after they have read it? Congratulations, you are a criminal. Did you ever make a cassette tape of an album when you were younger? Yep, criminal.
Look no one should steal music or movies or whatever, but the RIAA has gone bonkers. They are like caged animals who are in their death throws.
As the previous poster pointed out, much of their current problems are a direct result of their stubborn refusal to change their business model. Incidentally, the reason they fought so over their old business model was because at $18 per CD they had the golden goose and they were obscenely greedy.
I distinctly recall many people begging the music industry to establish a legal means to download. They refused. Apple then stepped up to the plate. What happened? The RIAA tried to hamstring Apple with DRM and the music and movie houses still are all bent out of shape that Apple now owns the download market.
The RIAA will never learn. And like the MSM, they are circling the drain and will soon vanish.
Libraries do it all the time !
Yeah, you’re exactly right!
Join the book club... and go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go!
