The damages sought by the suits are astronomical: $150,000 per song, the maximum allowed by law. Multiply that by the 652,000 or so songs the RIAA alleges student Joseph Nievelt offered to other Michigan Tech students on his service, and the scope of the suit is clear. Full article So how much would you owe? $150,000 x how many songs you have? I'de owe $432,900,000 www.phatkokracing.com www.deliriumgaming.com

There are alot of songs I have on my computer or an mp3 cd that are only on cds that are shitty over all and not worth buying, or aren't good enough to own though. I don't know how much I "owe" the RIAA but I know some of the music I "stole" isn't a part of any major corporation, so yes, "[censored] the RIAA"

I have no problem buying music but 1] I prefer reasonably priced CDs from good labels. A CD should be 14$ TOPS. Generally the better bands and prices are on smaller labels, and BOTH need the money 2] I won't buy any music from the companies that are endorsing the RIAA, their abuse of the media, fraudalent claims, and development of malicious technology 3] iTunes is a [censored] great idea. Some great artists and good prices. Too bad the RIAA still benefits from it.
