Alright, we've been following the RIAA's increasingly frequent affronts to privacy and free speech lately, and it's about time we stopped merely bitching and moaning and did something about it. The RIAA has the power to shift public policy and to alter the direction of technology and the Internet for one reason and one reason alone: it's totally loaded. Without their millions of dollars to throw at lawyers, the RIAA is toothless. They get their money from us, the consumers, and if we don't like the way they're behaving, we can let them know with our wallets.

And?!? OK, so botcott CANCOM, it doesn't matter, our money is still valuable. I still think people should buy more INDependant music, regardless. - Wed, 14 Mar 2007 12:31pm

Maybe because the CRIA aren't zealots like their US affliates? The CRIA does not have the same clout as the RIAA has in the states. And whether you buy indy or not, has nothing to do with the issue. - Wed, 14 Mar 2007 7:19pm
