Aren't the hardware companies to blame for piracy? Didn't they start selling hardware that could copy CDs bit for bit?
They could've just manufactured them so they could only backup data(documents,graphics, etc.) that the user created.
Why aren't programs like EZ CD creator illegal? What purpose do they serve? It seems to me that these appz are designed for one real purpose, and that is to rip and burn music.

The thousands(millions?) of kids dl-ing and burning CDs couldn't ever have done this on their own.
...and don't forget, M$ was on this bandwagon at one time as well...

Is that a joke?

RudeCat7:
No it's not a joke. If you didn't have the hardware, and the software, you wouldn't be copying CDs and burning Mp3z.

But since you have them...you do.  :D

Doctor V:
I've always hated $ony.  OK, thats it, no more playstation for me, from now on its Nintendo only.  The evil RIAA pigopolists have made me sick to my stomach.  I havn't bought a non-used CD in years, and from now on, I'm just going to listen in independant artists.

The RIAA, MPAA, Microsoft, Sony, Disney, and Nestle people have evil hearts, and the cure for that is to have them listen to some of John Lennon's music.

I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man

Of course they'd find a world like that abhorrent since the word "profit" becomes a meaningless sound.

What is wrong with Nestle? There a chocolate company FFS!

1)It's ok to only buy independant artists at the stores, but don't let that stop you from d/ling mp3s off the net. ACTUALLY, if people did this, it might count as a valid way of rebelling against the corps.

2)Nintendo is no angel themselves. Maybe they aren't part of that DMCA thing, maybe they are a little more devoted to the gamer because they ONLY make consoles, but that still doesn't mean they have a clean slate. I say go with the games, and to a lesser extent the system. Don't refuse to buy Xbox because it's made by MS. Refuse to buy Xbox because there is not enough worthy games for it, and it has alot of hardware issues.
