The RIAA, if they had their way, there wouldn’t be an iPod." That's so untrue. And new technology is the very BACKBONE of good business. It's competing with THEFT that has become the problem to solve.

They would LOVE to fill your iPOD with purchased product and there are now dozens of legal outlets online in which to do so. You sound cynical and bitter, and wildly misinformed. ” They’re always fighting technology. The RIAA, if they had their way, there wouldn’t be an iPod.”
