94. So you support treating 60 million people like criminals?
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 01:57 PM by Ignacio Upton
Because that's the number of Americans who have file shared in some form (20% of the population). Stigmatizing downloading is about as effective as going after people during Prohibition, or going after people who grow or smoke pot today. Oh, and $.99 is still too high for a song that can be copied an infinite number of times. Songs themselves no longer deserve the value that they have had in the brick and mortar world, because distribution costs are slim to nil. The pay-per-unit model is a dying one. The RIAA should get with the times and stop suing 7 year old girls, stroke patients and the families of dead people accused. I really hope that antitrust action is taken against their payola-lovin', price-fixin' asses.
