It's interesting. The last 5 or 6 paragraphs were a bit over the top. But I
share his feelings about the RIAA. They are selfish. Greedy. And they treat
their customers like potential criminals. And most of the mainstream pop
music coming out now isn't very good. And it stinks that there are so many
good albums that have fallen out of print, and that the copyright owners for
whatever reason won't release them.
As far as whether or not sampling copyrighted music from p2p is ok, as long
as it's ok with the copyright owner, then I'm ok with it. I must admit that
I have not always been consistent on this point. I have borrowed and have
received copies of media from people through the years. I guess I don't
always practice what I preach.
