same old song and dance
"We remain concerned about any devices or software that permit listeners to transform a broadcast into a music library," RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy said.

The boneheads (RIAA and MPAA) say the same thing about every technology that threatens their PPL (Pay Per Listen)or PPV vision of the music and video landscape.
Are these people being reduced to driving Fords (GASP!) instead of BMWs or Mercs or what?
Will we have PPN(Pay Per Note)and PPF(Pay Per Frame) soon? Oh wait, ringtones, PPN in effect.

It just pi&&es me off that people try to milk every freekin penny out of "entertainment"

Leeches, I say.

I'm off for a pint now, have a nice weekend all!
