- Shhh!!! Don't tell the RIAA and Sony BMG!

Let's see. 85GB - that's about 11,000 songs or so. According to Jennifer Pariser of Sony BMG and "ripping for personal use is stealing" fame, you're liable for about, oh, $101.75M - if the awards damages in Jammie Thomas' trial.
Might want to keep a low profile for a bit - and make sure your kids don't install Kazaa or Limewire - or God forbid, enable the Windows peer file sharing that you so studiously disabled so no nosy neighbors could scarf those music files via your WEP-encrypted WiFi network... No - that's not enough for the RIAA. You need to lock those original CDs away and just hum those tunes to yourself...that is, until the RIAA teams up with the NSA to read your mind and just bill you accordingly...
Good on you, Robin. I'm about halfway through re-ripping my entire CD collection. First time was a few years back when 192kb/s was the norm. Now I'm using FLAC (lossless) for archival copies, and 320kb/s MP3 for my two portable players. I'm building a media PC for my boat - can't drag around 3 or 4 hundred CDs while cruising. The RIAA is just insane. Do I need to tow a dinghy behind my ketch just to listen to my music collection while on the water? - Posted by: NetArch.
