    Unfortunately the only effect that would have is that a lot of the smaller distributers/retailers would go out of business due to a ruined cashflow.

    I have little sympathy for the whole RIAA.
    Recently I had a cd from a 3 cd set split in half, so it was useless. I realised I had bought the right to have my own 3 cds of this music and it was the media that had failed. I contacted the distributor of the cd set and they did not want to know me let alone help rectify the problem. Their only advice was that they were sorry but if I really wanted the cd again I would have to purchase the full set at full retail price again.
    I am so pissed off, I had paid full retail and expected some kind of support but instead I was treated very poorly.
    As I said I now have no respect for the RIAA.

  3. Comment - Microsoft Investigating New IE Flaw

    I think it is an absolute disgrace how so many of Microsoft's products have really serious flaws such as a simple buffer overflow or html errors that can cause errant programs to cause havoc. There must be many programmers at MS, who have been hackers (in their youth)in the past who should be beta testing these bugs.
    Young minds see a different perspective and have a totally different way of seeing solutions so maybe MS should run competitions, using these youngsters, to see how to crash their software, and then rectify the problems before releasing it to the general public.

    I guess we are lucky that they do not produce automobiles, Just imagine how many would have been killed due to system failures. We would have a world wide govt backlash.
