Sure, I agree artists should be paid for their work - but I bought and paid for EVERY song in my possession AND I have never downloaded or uploaded an MP3 file that wasn't free in the first place. Part of the problem is the fact that a large portion of the music on today's market is unlistenable drivel. Record companies should follow Apple Computers' example and let us buy what we want, rather than what we don't want. I hate paying $15-$25 for a CD and only enjoying a few songs. I often buy second-hand CD's, that way my wallet hit is less. Don't chase away the market RIAA with your draconian tactics.

I guess the other option is to: <br>A: try copy protecting all CD's <br>B: sue the 30 million+ people downloading songs.
