In Reply to: RE: Come on, guys. If I can see the difference between NTSC and 1080p, anyone can. It ain't subtle posted by Jazz Inmate on December 12, 2007 at 10:36:11
"If we can't support the protection of intellectual property, copyright laws, etc."
Get real. The way RIAA has degraded the word "intellectual" it no longer has any meaning, much less value.
"Digital content poses real problems and I don't blame studios for working on copy protection mechanisms."
That's propaganda. CD sales is up, not down. The music industry has never been healthier. The only thing that is down is the sales of Britney Spears CDs. RIAA wants us to cry because Britney Spears CDs don't sell as well as they used to.
The music artists should sue the intellectual dwarves at RIAA, if anyone should sue anyone. RIAA is the music artists' #1 enemy. RIAA has alienated everybody by declaring war on the Internet, technology and the music buyers. Their biggest blunder, of course, was to fight the SACD. What a bunch of idiots.
As for copy protection. I have a useless copy protected CD. You think RIAA is going to refund me for this, the only CD I have that sounds so horrendous it's unlistenable? I do not give a damn about the money. It's that they ripped me off and the insult of being assumed to be an idiot that bother me.
I do not download anything. The artist I like I support. I'm not a gatherer. But I do support every illegal downloader 100%. I cannot do much, but I will do everything I can to hurt RIAA.
Follow Ups:
LOL! Jazz Inmate has done the same thing for the word "capacity", but that's another story! :O)
Cheers,

That is stolen content of CDs. destroyed all.
Never listened to anyway, ALSO all.
I do not care about illegal downloads. I do not do it. but I PAY ENOUGH so I think I can say fine, go ahead and copy all that crap you would never have purchased anyway!!!
Well, what more can I say? Like it or not, we have things called "laws" and we try to enforce them to protect copyrights and such. That is in contrast to places like Eastern Europe and Asia, where piracy has simply replaced lawful distribution of media. Is that really the kind of world you want to live in?

"That is in contrast to places like Eastern Europe and Asia, where piracy has simply replaced lawful distribution of media."
Are you working for RIAA? Or why the RIAA propaganda.
"Is that really the kind of world you want to live in?"
I know that I don't want to live in a world where RIAA exists.
Are you serious?
I work for a company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative scientific instrumentation worldwide. In your view, any competitor or thief on the street that wants a piece of us could feel free to pirate our R&D data, set up a manufacturing facility and undercut our sales.
You might think the RIAA is evil incarnate, but they were set up to ensure record plants were meeting standards for frequency response. Their current primary goal is to protect the intellectual property rights of artists. Now you may not like how they go about doing this, and much of the time neither do I, but artists and record labels don't deserve to have their product pirated any more than a company like mine does. How to go about protecting against piracy and punishing piracy is a very complicated question. I certainly don't have the answer, and it's obvious that you don't either. It's about finding a solution.

I never said any of that.
"You might think the RIAA is evil incarnate"
It's hard to say. They seem to be too studid to be genuinly evil. Nah, they are evil, alright. You are aware that RIAA has bullied nations into changing their laws to comply with the will of RIAA?
"but artists and record labels don't deserve to have their product pirated any more than a company like mine does."
And no more than I deserve to get ripped off.
I have made two points.
RIAA ripped me off. I'm being petty and like to see RIAA being ripped off in return. I'm not studid. I know there's no getting back at RIAA. Most people who download illegal mp3s would never buy a CD. They are the same people who in the pre CD days would borrow your LP and tape it. RIAA loses no money on them.
The other point is RIAA's yellow fever propaganda. You can buy pirated Chinese DVDs in virually every mall in America. Of course, that's none of RIAA or MPAA's concern. Their only concern is to protect American interests. I have no problem with that. What does bother me is that their propaganda is parroted by corporate news medias owned by the same people who own the record companies.
