what if the RIAA/MPAA made cars? (Score 1)

You would not be able to let anyone else drive it, ever. You would have to pay an extra licensing fee to drive with a friend in the car. If other people look at it, you would have to pay a fee. You would not be allowed to sell it. If you totalled it, you would not be allowed to remove and reuse the stereo, or anything for that matter. The RIAA/MPAA would be the police, and would follow you around at random to see if you have someone else in your car, or or loaned it to someone. Tell me this, if the movie industry did not constantly brag about how they made $500 Million dollars in the first weekend while you have to pay $8 for popcorn to watch thier movie, wouldn't you feel better about buying the movie? I would. Tom cruise is not worth $50 million a movie. Stop paying him this much, and I will reconsider.
