1 - 1968: buy the Rolling Stone's Beggar's Banquet vinyl LP.

2 - 1971 (or so): buy Beggar's Banquet cassette to listen to in your car. Don't make your own copy by recording the album you bought in #1, it's illegal.

3 - 1987: buy the Beggar's Banquet brand new laser digital compact disc: the Rolling Stones like you never heard them before!

4 - 1995 (or so): buy the brand new digitally enhanced from the original masters Beggar's Banquet CD, because# 3 was crap after all.

5 - 2001 (or so): buy the brand new digitally enhanced from the original masters Beggar's Banquet SACD, because# 4 was crap too after all.

6 - 2005: buy the Street Fighting Man mp3 from ITunes for your Ipod. Don't convert the song to mp3 from the vinyl, cassete, CDs and SACD you bought, it's illegal

6 - Since you're playing guitar, buy Street Fighting Man's tab, don't download it from the internet for free (free if you forget about the high end computer and software you bought and the fee you pay each month to your internet provider)

7 - Give money to the RIAA every time you make a public performance of Street Fighting Man

8 - Wouldn't it be great if you could give money to the RIAA everytime you make a private performance of Street Fighting Man with your buddies, or every time you shout "Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy" in your shower? For the time being, the RIAA doen't have the technical means to control what you're doing in your home, but wait until they can!

Now one question: What does the RIAA want? Hey you forgot about my 8-track! :lol:]]> News TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/paged/2/#post-162054 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/paged/2/#post-162024 Sun, 26 Feb 2006 16:02:04 +0000
I tell you what, I'm going to sue everybody on the planet who's name is Alan Green for unauthorised use of my name. Alan Greenspan had better watch out too - unauthorised use of a derivative of my name.

There you go, I have now descended to their level.]]> News Alan Green https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/paged/2/#post-162024 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/paged/2/#post-161795 Fri, 24 Feb 2006 23:50:09 +0000

"digital music sales grew from 220 million to 790 million in one year and only account for 6% of overall music sales"

yea sounds like they are really hurting.

do the math , what is the total estimate of money made in one year if this figure is true?]]> News TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/paged/2/#post-161620 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/#post-161366 Wed, 22 Feb 2006 20:12:36 +0000
As I live in Europe, my villains go by other names, but I can assure you that they behave the same and their goals are identical.]]> News Blind_Lemon_Pye https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/#post-161366 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/#post-161349 Wed, 22 Feb 2006 18:13:35 +0000
#6 - the RIAA couldn't care less if you're downloading tab. That's where the MPA comes in (the MPA couldn't care less if you download mp3s; that's RIAA's slice of the pie)

#7 - that's neither the RIAA (since they don't own YOUR version) or the MPA (since it isn't a written representation). However, BMI would sure like to talk to your venue and make sure the appropriate licensing fee is collected... they happen to own the public performance rights.

#8 - that's not the RIAA's deal either. But the music publisher who owns those rights, Abkco, is working on it :)

We tend to lump all the greedy elements together, because a lot of their legal tactics sound the same. But there are specific villains for specific rights, and the RIAA isn't even close to cornering the market.

Dead on with 1-5 though. What RIAA cares about is music that's been recorded. So if the Stones or anybody else has put it on vinyl/tape/CD/clay tablets, they don't want you copying it, playing it in your clothing store, broadcasting it on your pirate radio station, etc.]]> News NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/#post-161349 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/riaa-says-ripping-cds-to-your-ipod-is-not-fair-use/#post-161341 Wed, 22 Feb 2006 17:16:07 +0000
I'll buy no more until the industry changes - I'm more than happy to pay bands for music, but I'm not going pay these people for the stunts they pull.
