From the wires:<br><br>"The five top U.S. distributors of compact discs and three large music retailers have agreed to pay $143 million in cash and CDs to settle charges they cheated consumers by fixing prices, authorities announced Monday."<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

Yeah... just send them the receipt for the CD you bought 5 years ago, and they'll send you your 89 cents! What a joke. LOL!<br><br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red>

Just thinking about this topic makes me angry <br><br>I HATE the RIAA. Why didn't they get creative and find a way for us to want to buy their stuff for the prices they charge!<br><br>

The worst thing about the RIAA is that they are in the midst of killing internet radio! Bastards!<br><br>Oh yeah, another thing I hate are copy protected CD's! I swore I would never buy one, but I accidentally bought an Acid Jazz CD in Japan and I was unaware that it had copy protection! I only found out when I could not play it on my computer, or put it on my iPod!<br>The thing was 30,000 Yen.
