ok, i stop now..

Also this was said on a forum, and it's very true regarding the RIAA and organizations like them and is very much worth reading;

What boggles my mind, and I may or may not have the fact straight here, is the fact that the RIAA lobbies for keeping artists in the business, but I am pretty sure not one penny that they receive for court cases actually goes to any of the artists or producers.

In fact, I was so interested in this I decided to give them a call earlier today and the exact response I got when asked where the money they make from lawsuits goes to was, "The money we receive from court cases goes straight back into our staff to fund our operations."

That sentence means one of three things. Either the artists are part of their "staff" and receive some sort of royalties for the court cases, the RIAA/whoever else is raking in a shit ton of money but having to put it all right back into suing more people, or whoever the head of these entities is, is taking home an epic check every month and doesn't give two shits about any artist that exists. I'm willing to put my bet on the third.

I am not going to get into the argument of being for or against file sharing, but for an entity to claim that it has the artists in mind, and suing the ever living shit out of people using that as the reason is what I see completely wrong with what they are doing.

Also I am sure this argument has come up many times and I'm just beating a dead horse, but hey.
