Dearest CRIA and RIAA Members,

The fact that the first thing I viewed on the RIAA ’s site, when trying to understand your point of view of illegal downloading of music, is how one organization controls 90% of the legitimate creation and distribution of sound recordings, enrages me!! So much for my non-biased temperament towards an issue that your organizations purposefully control income and behavior of. What happened to enterprising a nation instead of monopolizing and conquering it. When I was at age of adolescence I bought my first KISS cassette tape (Destroyer) without the fear of being arrested if I let my friend take it home and copy it. It is a known fact that technology has made this much easier for consumers today. That is because of the people who have created wonderful software and hardware that allow users to do this effortlessly. Yet these “developers, entrepreneur’s, and programmers” can easily get away with marketing their creations to the consumer without being price regulated only for this to be compatible with everything else for maybe a year. Then turnaround and produce a barely better incompatible knock off version for outrageous profits. Thus leading the consumer with empty pockets and looking for an inexpensive answer to do something that will get them incarcerated. My anger stems from the recent threatening position the CRIA took upon the only web community I actually enjoyed that wasn’t full of tasteless pornographic media and/or unbearable pressure advertising. DEMONOID! You take that away and now myself and the rest of it’s members proceed to economic war on your organizations. By this I mean for as long as Demonoid is down I refuse to buy any merchandise whatsoever that in any way feed the tyrants whom have by their greed began to deteriorate the recording business. Don’t worry you won’t see me downloading illegally off the net, but feel free to come to my neighborhood and attempt to catch me borrowing all of my neighbors CD’s and copying for my family and my personal use. I wouldn’t dream of trying to monopolize the music industry and recording artists by making copies of music and selling them for profit. That’s your job. Why don’t you use some the intelligence in your organization to come together with your bosses (the consumer) and make some compromises that benefit us all. Good luck. Hail Demonoid!!!
