ROTFLMAO! So you actually think they should be able to do whatever they please, including control what I listen to? Have you forgotten what country you are living in, pal? Let me give you a hint: It's not China.

1) This is America.

2) You control what you do or do not listen to. Period. No one is forcing you to steal music.

I guess you're cool with Hatch's idea, huh? Download a song, somebody hacks into your computer and puts in a virus designed to wipe out the hard drive, or otherwise make it inoperable.

Actually, no.. From a technical standpoint I think it's unworkable.

I would support jailing offenders however.

(And did you even bother looking at those links? $10 says you did not.)

Why bother? I don't steal music and I don't covet.

It must be wonderful living in freedom.

Yeah, it is.. actually.. Except for all the thieves and such.

Overall though, it's pretty nice.

You control what you do or do not listen to. Period.

Unless you want to listen to a song they never play on the radio anymore and it is long since out of print. (Example: The Inexhaustible Quest For The Cosmic Cabbage by the Amboy Dukes) Then who is controlling it, smart guy?

When the RIAA deliberately sets exhorbitant fees designed to shut down internet-only radio stations, who is controlling it?

Why bother?

Yeah, why bother opening your mind to other points of view on this subject? Don't want to break that tunnel vision, for God's sake.

Bottom line: You are completely full of crap if you think it is the American way for record companies to restrict what you can and cannot listen to, which is exactly what is going on.
