RIAA Says Ripping CDs to Your iPod is NOT Fair Use (http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004409.php)
Basically RIAA is saying that people can rip CD's to their iPOD, not because it's fair use, but because RIAA allows it.
Of course, the unspoken presmise is that RIAA can disallow it at any time.
Fucking RIAA. I don't buy their shit anymore, I don't download it, I don't fileshare it, but they are such sonsofbitches I hate their guts.

I feel I should point out that this is not truth at this time. You can still legally rip your own cds, for now. All the RIAA has threatened to do is take that right away at some point in the future, if they want to. But not now.
Assclowns, are they going to stop me at the airport and examine my iPod to make sure that none of my songs are from cds that I legally purchased? Over my dead body!

RIAA doesn't get to decide what is fair use. That's a conflict of interest.
They are trying to take fair use away from us, which is what this "piracy" bullshit has been about all along.

When they sued that woman who had never used a computer, I'd thought they'd reached a peak. And then they top themselves again.
Totally out of line on so many levels. For fuck's sake, I'm perfectly content with buying the CD and putting that on my iPod. They get my money, I get the CD (which I prefer over legal downloads). But even that's not good enough for them? Jeez.

It is no secret that the entertainment oligopolists are not happy about space-shifting and format-shifting. But surely ripping your own CDs to your own iPod passes muster, right? In fact, didn't they admit as much in front of the Supreme Court during the MGM v. Grokster (http://www.eff.org/IP/P2P/MGM_v_Grokster/%22) argument last year?
Apparently not.
As part of the on-going DMCA rule-making proceedings (http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004212.php), the RIAA and other copyright industry associations submitted a filing (http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2006/reply/11metalitz_AAP.pdf) that included this gem as part of their argument that space-shifting and format-shifting do not count as noninfringing uses, even when you are talking about making copies of your own CDs:

Anytime I double post it's because I click submit, nothing seems to happen, hit STOP, and hit submit again, and see that my post got through the first time. Is that what happened you?
-
yeah, something like that

I always reopen the thread in another tab to check before submitting a second time.

I double post sometimes when I'm at work, the firewall often blocks pages on this forum due to "questionable words and phrases". I make a post then wonder why it doesn't get updated so I repost then I refresh and get an error message. I only notice my double posting when I get home and view this site, it's only really annoyed me once when some tosser negitive repped me for doulble posting. :mad:

Reps are overrated ... as long as it isn't a red light you're fine. It's not like people think better of you if you have more reps ... right ?
