woman has to pay over 200 thousand in fines from RIAA

well the Music industry of America has charged a Woman with taken songs illegally off of the site Kazaa the music filing site. these suits are so dumb ad stupid. the final fines and what not aren't anywhere near what these companys seek out or try to claim. i mean instead of embracing modern technilogy there is still the mindset of Us versus them.i always laugh when somebody who gets sued and fined by the industry elects not to pay at all and what ends up happening is that you start to lose fans from supporting Product.

i applaud what the Band Radiohead is doing by having fans going to there site to purchase rough sketches of there new stuff, and selecting there own price for what they want to spend. there has to be some middle ground. Napster almost 10 years ago(hard to believe already) forever changed the way Music and Technilogy would go hand and hand for the future.

trying to bully folks who download music is cheap and tacky. give music fans more options and also stop keeping back so much stuff for years, decades,etc... give the consumers more.

and for the record the money that is sought after from the labels,ain't exactly going back to the artists pockets,but that is another topic and story for a different day.
