When I was a kid, I remember one of my buddies having a cassette player-radio. The cassette player could record live radio broadcasts, so as a kid, he would actually record the broadcasts off the radio should one of his favorite songs come onto the air while he was listening.

Was he guilty of breaking the "copyright law" according to the extortionist thugs at the RIAA? Probably. But F the RIAA if they think that these lawsuits are legitimate in their own right. What if a kid records Metallica off of the radio station with his cassette player?

The RIAA is an evil organization that destroys the lives of college students and kids who SUBSCRIBE to music sites. See their stories here, along with a video debate of the scumbags who run these types of organizations:

The legitimacy of the RIAA's lawsuits is questionable, but businesses that run on a model of "sue your customer to death" do not last very long.
