Look folks, I write songs. Sometimes they get recorded. Other times, I spend the year in a filthy van running 90,000 miles to play in cruddy clubs and try to sell my recordings... and I'll be lucky to not qualify for welfare. We work hard. People I guess think we're all rich. We're not. A lot of us are broke. Yet people steal from us and then villianize the RIAA. That's like cussing at a cop when he arrests a child rapist. You want art? You want any-Fing-thing of any Fing value to be created at all for that 60gb iPod? Then you have to stop stealing it. Music isn't free. If it was, you'd be creating it, a-hole! But no, you're McJobing it there in your cube pissing about how the mean RIAA makes people pay for art. Come to think of it, I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain all of this to a man who rises and sleeps enjoying the very art that my toil, pain, and gifts provides, then questions the manner in which I try to keep clothes on my kids' backs. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up an instrument and stand a creative post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.

There is NO abuse going on here. YOU can buy an i-pod and load it up with music you have bought totally legalally. ITS WHAT THEY ARE FOR. And yet a company cannot do it for you. RIAA can suck a big fat harry nut. they are NOT right. the company in question was pre-loading software that the user BOUGHT at the time of buying the i-pod. ie, you buy an i-pod and 10 music cds, they send you the i-pod loaded with those 10 cds (and the 10 cds.)

However if it's from an authorized retailer (like Apple or best buy or whoever the RIAA decides to cut a deal with to get EVEN MORE money), then they should allow the practice to happen...

If you agree on one thing...they take your soul! <br /><br /> Just joking. I have to agree to a point, it really depends on how exactly this whole thing is handled. If I give my friend my cds and he loads my ipod for me, then that should be fine. Heck if I send my cds to a company and they do it for me, I don't see a problem with that. It will be interesting to see if they try to push this whole thing too far. Michael…Don’t do that! If you agree on one thing…they take your soul!
