Comment RIAA/MPAA Bullshit Double Standards (Score 3, Insightful) 257
One of the things that pisses me off the most about these fuckers is that their answer to the "Are you selling this to me or licensing this to me?" question always seems to be whichever one means they get paid again (or in this case, whichever one means they get to not pay someone else).
Your CD got scratched? Oooh, sorry, we sold you that music. Buy another copy.
You want to resell that legal MP3? Nope, that's a nontransferable license, no can do. (IIRC, this is currently being battled out in the courts.)
You think we owe you more in royalties? Nah, we sold those songs instead of licensing them. You mad, bro?
The sooner these dinosaurs get done in by their own greed, the better.
