how much do you 'owe' the RIAA?

Well, then, this has been 9 pages of nothing.

No one's disagreeing about the fundamental issue of artists having the right to create the market in any way they see fit.

If an artist wants to sell an MP3 with a license that forbids copying, then they have that right.

One has the right to accept those terms, or boycott the artist.

One has the right to break the terms of the license, and be rightfully called a thief.

If an artist wants to distribute an MP3 in the public domain, they have that right.

All this talk about inevitability is silly. All crime is inevitable.

By acquiescing to inevitability, you deprive a very valuable subset of society, the creators, the ability to create.
