ok first off... the RIAA cannot (and will not) go and sue everyone with a CD burner with a couple of CD's. for all they know you could be backing up your computer with those blank CD's. Second, it'll be a waste of time to go after a bunch of small fries like these when they can go after Best Buy, CompUSA, Circut City, all the Chain stores which sell those things. its a waste of time for the record industry to go after that kind of shit when they can sue almost EVERY GODDAMN AVERAGE JANE AND JOE IN THE COUNTRY!!!!

No I see it too. Well I guess that kinda makes sense.

Actually I think they would go for the manufacturer rather than the retailer.

This made me laugh out loud !!!

Consistency is clearly not one of RIAA's strong points, is it?!

It reminds me of the time when AOL (whose owner Time Warner is a member of RIAA and MPAA) had a advert in one of the UK's national newspapers, saying that if people sign up to AOL broadband, you can get faster music/film downloads !!
