If the RIAA wants to keep me from downloading music, all they have to do is make sure that the only people making music are the "Artists" that appear on MTV's "people to promote" lists. I have yet to even consider the music of Madonna, Brittney Spears, Creed, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Metallica... the list goes on and on.
"Gosh, nobody is buying our music! It must be piracy! It can't be the fact that the shit we're spitting out like a diseased chorizo grinder is as likely to be listenable as the sounds of chainsaws mating."
RIAA/MPAA? ProTip: All that merchandise of yours that I didn't buy? It wasn't because I downloaded it like a naughty pirate. It was because you were too busy shoveling shit onto the shelves to notice it wasn't worth the effort of getting it -free- let alone buying.
