The RIAA has put plenty of limits and laws down on the industry and as far as sharing music illegally, I agree with them to a point.

But now it seems that they are going even further with their rules and pushing the public (and me) even more by trying to put in place even stricter rules. Their newest one is that they do not think we should be able to rip our own CDs to our computer/MP3 player (which before they said was fine)!

Now common, this has just gone too far in my mind. I for one never use CDs anymore (except to buy them and rip them to my computer) as digital music is just so much more convenient. It is the future and the future is now in a sense as most people are switching to digital music. You can play it anywhere (car, stereo, computer, office, on the go) and it is instantaneous to play songs and music from your library (plus you can find songs easier).

But all this aside, the RIAA still wants to stop people from ripping songs to their PC/MP3 Player. In my mind it will not easily happen and should not happen at all as digital is the future. In a way it’s like the RIAA saying that we cannot move to CDs since they want us to be using tapes still. But instead of CDs it’s our PCs and instead of tapes it’s CDs.

My biggest worry is that they will start making CDs you cannot play in your computer at all (like some are from Europe). This makes it so you can only play them in your CD player and totally would make me at least not buy it. I need digital music as does the world, it’s here to stay so leave us who are doing it legally alone RIAA!
