The Evil that is the DMCA ...I really really hate what's about to go down. They are thinking about making new CD's and DVD's that prevent copying. They will force us to by new hardware to play these monstrosities. That means no more mp3s...I really hate that. I don't at all download music illegally, and if I do...it's only because I the CD hasn't came out and there's no way of listening to it other wise. If only these dumbass record companies would release the artists' CD's before releasing the single. They are leaving us with nothing to do but downloading the song. You can't purchase singles anymore! So we, being motivated to download that one new single, sees the rest of the album's alone (before it's released)...and continue downloading the rest of the album. It's all the RIAA fault that this shit is even happening! Why can't they see that? They're trying to blame us for downloading the music. Now...that's the deal with new songs and crap. Now with old songs, it's different. It's hard as fuck to just walk into a record store and find an old school album. Common sense people.
I bought an iPod, which is primarily an mp3 player. I'm fortunate because I will be able to use it as solely an external hard drive if this happens. But think of all the other millions of people who buy mp3s worth over $200! You want be able to put anything new on it. It'll just eventually become a paper weight. It's gonna be tough for Apple too. One of the only things they got good going for them is how superior it is to create digital media on their machines. iTunes, iDVD, and iMovie are the best solutions for average consumers who are interested in making their own digital life experience. The RIAA sucks dick, that's all I'm trying to say.
