Let's be realistic. the RIAA and foreign counterparts know there are leegit uses. In the 80s, they (And other similar entities, such as aDisney) sued to make those rights illegal. Thewy know (Painfully) that there are legal uses, and many of the companies complaining about piracy are also marketing the CD-Rs and the computers and the MP3 players.

The thing is, they don't want to admit there are legal uses. They want to make a hardline "Piracy is bad, k?" stance, so that they can take as much ground as they want.

Hell, I got yelled at a couple days ago when I told someone I was ripping a copy of the VR album, because piracy is bad.

Except....I was ripping...It...To...My...Portable...Which...Only...I...Use...
