MP3 Players should be made illegal
December 12, 2007 |
From arstechnica: RIAA: Those CD rips of yours are still “unauthorized”.
So, you buy a Sony MP3 player and use the Sony software that comes with it to RIP a Sony CD to your Sony computer and copy it to your Sony MP3 player. Sony then pays the RIAA to sue you for copying the Sony CD to the Sony MP3 player with the Sony software.
- Sony made money on the computer
- Sony made money on the MP3 player
- Sony made money on the CD
- Sony then asks the RIAA to sue you for more money because you used their products in a way they were designed.
Can anyone else see what’s wrong with this picture?
