What?! And give up their profits?!  Not likely... B-(

They'd still implement "decaying discs" if they could.  The RIAA and the
MPAA are two sets of suits that I really would like to see hit by a bus.

Vivendi and Jack Valenti are another set...

We really need some polictical and corporate housecleaning in this counry.
