Wow, that's impressive. From dumb to Nazi in one post.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You either obey laws, or you don't; the Founding Fathers are not the issue, copyright infringement is a law whether they would've approved or not. Like many, including speeding.

The organizations the RIAA represents often do not obey the law. That doesn't make it okay to circumvent copy protection and download material that was not legally uploaded in the first place.

Or are you only interested in the laws that you think make sense?

I loathe the RIAA. But I see a lot of Freepers here thinking that this sort of software is so great. I'll never put anything like this on my computer. If I want something, I'll either purchase it, or do without if I can't watch it on YouTube. I used to not be this paranoid until the SonyBMG rootkit, but it seems to me that an organization like the RIAA is going to eventually have a bead on who has this sort of software on their computers, and they're going to come after people who possess content they cannot prove they paid for. And I won't be caught up in that, that's for damned sure. But it's way more about not wanting to run afoul of the law than a mere CYA.

Feeling this way gets me labeled an RIAA Nazi.

Seek help, perhaps in time it will enable you to understand that you don't help matters by endorsing activities that they end up being on the right side of the law on.

Good work.

Any other insults you'd like to share?

You do realize you are supporting the impeding of technological progress.

I never thought that was conservative.
