That would be a horrendously unpopular move, but if they want to lock up the content then they have the right to protect that lock by the law. In the meantime though, they've not locked the content and thus we *should* be able to use as we please. (If you buy a CD, you should have limited rights to the intellectual property on it. You should be able to do anything for your purposes with it. That does not include spreading it for free over the web or bootlegging)
Right...so if you listen to a song so many times that you have memorized it verbatim in your head. Is that violating copyright law?

Ok, I think we've all established that these guys are crackpots, so I think we should just ignore them and maybe they'll go away.

I am sick to death of hearing about the RIAA.

Someone should let them in on the little secret that is the internet and fair use.

IMO, the RIAA is grasping at straws. Record sales are down, and they've lost multiple suits (and won a few, sure). They're desperate to set in law anything they can as precedent to save/make more money. This is also a form of fear tactics. But it all comes down to the almighty dollar.
Yep. When you can't innovate, you gotta litigate. Just like MS is threatening to do to Red Hat.

You guys never new about this regulation? I know the DMCA prohibits CD ripping...but I choose to blatantly disobey it.
