I think many people are in my situation: we want to buy music online, but cannot. I go to the local HMV superstore, and it does not have the music I want. I have a large CD collection, which I only use for ripping to ogg or MP3 formats, since it is much more convenient. I would love to be able to just buy that music online, at a reasonable price.

I think that the record industry is so blind to the needs of the customer; they could be making money and friends instead of enemies.

No I do not steal music from anyone. And I do not give others the files that I have paid for. But these legislators are on the wrong track.
