It's legal to record songs/vidoes off broadcast, like the radio or broadcast TV.

I don't see why XM should be different.

Why do we even have a RIAA? Shouldn't someone assassinate the leader already?

Seriously who are they defending? I wonder if half the bands out there even agree what these dickwads are doing everyday. Sueing college kids with no money, raping companies for millions for no reason. Where does it end?

End? What do you mean, end? When was the last time anyone tried to do something about an organization like the RIAA?

Metallica is one of those who accept the RIAA. Apprently 30 million each is not enough. There's alot of bands who are just in it for the money. Most of them support the RIAA movement...

It seems to me though that, since most bands don't really make the money from their albums (unless they go like platinum), rather from their touring, that they would want music to be downloaded so that their name could be circulated as widely as possible. I know I've read interviews with several bands who support piracy solely for that reason.

Yeah but those who support don't need their name spread... can you tell me of one person that doesn't know of Metallica? (That's not an hermit)

These guys make already alot of money... seems like it just isn't enough. In fact I'm pretty sure you won't see an artist on the RIAA represented list that isn't atleast platinum hell... even double platinum.

In short... the ones who support them are the greedy bastards.
