Default RIAA says Ripping CDs is Illegal
Has anyone had enough of the RIAA yet? They are now contradicting themselves.

Quote:
In Atlantic v. Howell, a case against a pro se litigant in Arizona, the RIAA has filed a supplemental brief in support of its motion for summary judgment. The Court has given Mr. Howell until January 11th to respond, and has scheduled a hearing for January 24th at 2:00 P.M.

The RIAA's brief makes the novel contention, contradicting its lawyers' arguments at the Supreme Court in MGM v. Grokster, that making personal copies of songs from one's CD onto one's computer is an infringement.

Thanks for editing.

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.

This is completely ridiculous. They cannot declare that ripping an audio CD you bought onto your own computer for personal use is illegal. Once those digital audio files exist, however, multiple illegal activities do become possible.
