Reply #4: I'm still trying to figure out how it's stealing if [View All]

Sony®™ Music has an artist I like, and I download their music on my Sony®™ Viao, and burn it on my Sony®™ CD burner using my Sony®™ blank CD's and the cd copying software provided by Sony®™, and play it on my Sony®™ car stereos mp3 player.

If the RIAA does not want me distributing tracks, they should not try selling me the equipment to do so. Sue me if they must, but I want a refund on all the products of theirs I bought just to listen to said media, and punitive damages for selling me illegal hardware.

I've been stealing..oops, I mean downloading music since 97. I have only purchased 1 cd since then. Nickelback (Sony artist BTW). The only reason I bought their CD was to support the artists. All my other music is downloaded and used, like I said, in my mp3 player.

Why were mp3 players invented? To circumvent piracy? Hell no... to make a quick buck.

This case is just another BS story of greedy RIAA execs all pissed off that a consumer isn't lining their pocket by buying a CD.. Hey bud, what about all that other shit you sold me just to listen to this illegal stuff that would have been confined to my PC otherwise?
