Dear MPAA\RIAA Nazis..........

Dear MPAA\RIAA Nazis,

If you hadn't spent so many years overcharging for bad films and one hit wonders, consumers would be more willing to pay for your product. When a file swapper hears a cool song or see's an ad for a movie that looks good, they think about all of the money they've already spent on cd's with only one good song or a movie with J'Lo in it. Then they rip you off in payback because the economy is tough and they don't think you deserve another ivory back scratcher. What can you do?

1. Innovate. If there is something about your product that I like and I can't get it for free, I'll pay for it.

2. Charge less. $25 for popcorn and soda at a movie theater should also be criminal.

3. Quality. I can't emphasize this enough. Talented artists and good movies make money. Bad ones don't.

Here's what you don't do.
1. Sue your customers.

You can make an example out of a few hundred or so, but the fact of the matter is over 25 million people are trading files with no recourse. That number gets bigger everyday.
