I’ll bet you are under 30 and do not value personal property rights whatsoever.
You bet wrong. Don't post to me if all you want to do is vent. I prefer conversations to accusations and assumptions.
The RIAA never seemed to care when the record companies sold us:
1. LPs that were virtually impossible to keep clean
2. 8-Tracks that were horrible in quality and would break songs in half if it was close to the end of a program
3. Cassette tapes that squealed when you played them
4. CDs that were marketed as skip-proof, but sure did skip when a scratch happened
Now they want to tell us that downloading a rough tab is illegal. They need to give it a break...
