Bullshit.

The current market can't/doesn't satisfy their greed (they being RIAA/MPAA... *not* the artist they claim to protect).

They find a nice scapegoat.

Now mix that with some "Homeland Security" paranoia (and/or fashist control greed)...

Not bullshit.

This is the last I'm going to say, and it's my basic point.

This mess is happening on 2 fronts. Don't see it that way if you don't want to. Ignore one of them. Then, when you lose your right to copy for personal reasons (as I have lost my right to own a bong, because the retail industry couldn't bother to police itself against sales to children) don't ask me for any advice because I don't have any left.
