I keep wondering about the fact that untold numbers of people each day are doing the same thing in the confines of their homes by copying from their televisions. Yet no group has proposed to come into homes and monitor what is done on televisions by attaching some device that could tell when a movie is being copied. But because computers are trackable, the RIAA is using that to invade homes and privacy. It is a double standard. Big Brother is being allowed to come into our homes. A segment on FOX news recently had the commentator keep referring to the copying as stealing. He referred to the fact that one can go to a site and download for a small amount. Well, duh, people can go down to the local discount store and buy a vhs tape or dvd....so WHY the double standard??? I recently bought a used Boston cd from a resale site. Now, just how much money did the artist make from that???? Some filesharers are into the older music and sometimes music that is no longer offered as a new sale. The lawsuits are wrong. Surely the RIAA can come up with more viable options. They are being allowed to invade homes...this is America. Isn't it?
