FireBlade Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'm looking for some credible websites with facts and figures regarding why the RIAA's insane rampage is good and why sharing of copyrighted material is bad and stuff. Don't throw tomatoes or park benches at me, it's for a university speech I have to give. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CtotheJ Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 There arn't any good websites because there arn't any good facts in support of the RIAA. Of corse you'll finds the usual "File Sharing's Illegal, m'Kay?", and they'll try and play the guilt card "You're stealing mostly from the ARTISTS", and you'll see some lies/damn-lies/statistics claiming that CD Sales are down since file sharing has taken off.... but they won't tell you that there have been fewer tracks put out recently, and if you compare the number of songs/money earned they are doing better currently. They won't tell you that the RIAA keeps large fees from artists, and the only way they really make their money is through concerts. They will adapt or die. I think they will die. More and more artists will become independant and avoid the RIAA-fee, and the boycots againced RIAA-labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
