  1. Comment - RIAA Sues 261, Including 12-Year-Old Girl

    I think a better solution to the problem must be found. For instance, just because everyone on the interstate drives 80mph, it doesn't mean that the police try to write tickets to everyone, nor does it mean that they let everyone off the hook. It's called selective enforcement, kind of like fishing, some fish get caught and others don't. They will go after the biggest offenders first and work their way down. Not buying their CDs is a start. Many musical artists have released files from their own sites for free and several services have begun a "paid download service" where you can download only the songs you want, instead of paying for an entire CD. This is the wave of the future, in spite of what the RIAA or any of the record companies believe. It will be a great day, when you can download a paid-for song directly from the site of the artist. You get your song, the artist gets all the money and everybody is happy. Except maybe, the RIAA.
