Re:The RIAA reads slashdot (Score 0)

Do you work for the RIAA? If you do, you should be fired right here, right now. You must not keep up with the Fair Use Act of 1977. The DMCA doesn't overrule this, seeing as how its built upon its principle. One can copy music that they purchase for their own personal use. This is 100% legal. Now, by borrowing the music and copying it, he makes himself subject to a copyright infringment suit. Nonetheless, seeing that one has a library of mp3s means only that this person has made copies for his own personal use. Why don't you RIAA freaks learn that mp3 doesn't automatically mean illegal? As long as he doesn't redistribute the copyrighted works, he doesn't have anything to worry about. Read up kitlings, because I'm here to make RIAA's life miserable. :-)
