Comment And What About The Legal Listeners (Score 2, Insightful) 256
I strongly object to this one. As an avid music fan who usually buys tens of albums a year, there's a reason that I haven't bought any in 2003 and only 10 in 2002, quite frankly the product sucks.
The onset of manufactured music leaves me with nothing more to own. The Beatles or Floyd albums which I frequently buy now cost approximately 33% more than they did in 1999 (albeit according to my findings only).
I now purchase indie recordings, as well as artists that just aren't signed by the RIAA. Of those albums, 100% of the companies are not with the RIAA, they're all Israeli.
The point is simple, don't tax me for something I don't do. I won't pay a premium tax to download music, especially as one who never does and only *always* legally buys music.

Phew: rant over =)
