Reply #95: The RIAA opened Pandora's Box with CD's and Digital Media [View All]

They just didn't know it at the time. Now, it's too late, they're trying to play catch up and it's over for them.

They should have started this current CD copy fight 5-7 years ago, now it's not going to happen.

The problem is, the RIAA is still holding onto the stinking corpse of their old business model: Album sales. They can't seem to get it through their head that with digital media, physical store-purchased albums are dead.

There will always be a War between the RIAA and everyone one else, until the RIAA gives up on album sales and moves onto legal downloads. The pirate community will always crack anything the RIAA throws at them. There are millions of pirates, and only a few hundred corporate drones producing copy protection software/hardware. The numbers are against the RIAA.

The RIAA keeps on starting their battles years too late, and then, like I said Pandora's Box is open and there is nothing left but hope.
