This is just fucking outrageous.
 
RIAA has hired a bunch of ex-cops to go around the street dressed up like FBI agents who take CD's from vendors, no due process.

Worse yet, the vendors claim that the RIAA people represent themselves as cops.

Didn't RIAA hire an ex-ATF agent as a bigwig?

RIAA people need to go to jail over this one.

Not if you lobby it (need lots of money with that of course).

Oh sure it's illegal (or at least of questionable legality), but the fact is that there's gonna be people who'll jump to the RIAA's defence, citing Machiavelli (the ends justify the means). I just hope the RIAA gets put in its place.....I sure as hell don't want to see a corporate police force out there, ready to handcuff me for humming a copyrighted song at the train station.
