    Exactly. I was inferring (via my subtle ways of inference) that downloading music is illegal, not ripping an MP3. I really must proofread my posts for clarity.
    My quests:
    End of Time - First quest, uses classic graphics (Help/discussion thread)
    Link to the Heavens - Second quest, uses Pure tileset (YouTube LP | Help/discussion thread)
    End of Time DX - Remake of my first quest (YouTube LP | Help/discussion thread)

    RIAA's Dream: Buy a CD so that you can play in a CD player. Buy a song online so that you can listen to it on your computer and MP3 player. My question is, what's the point of even having a CD now?

    You need to extrapolate more on exactly what types of CDs.

    Music CDs aren't worth crap anymore, unless you want a physical manifestation of your music, in the event that your harddrive gets wiped. Other than that, its eye candy. For what you pay for a single CD with an average of fifteen songs, you can get fifty songs for a few cents each on some music websites. And thats only the "legal" ways. [piratebay says hi again]

    Another thought: not that I use it because it sucks, but doesn't the standard Windows XP (and likely vista) form of Windows Media Player... y'know... rip songs from CDs to keep them in your "media library"? As a built in, primary feature that lazy people or people who don't know how to rip MP3s properly use all the time? If my relatives in Texas could figure out how to use it...

    That's what I'm saying. The only advantage that CD's have is higher quality, and you can't even really tell. So the RIAA is just trying to kill off that technology I guess.

    The RIAA like the MPAA are greedy Nazi assholes. This is not news. They like to make shit up as if no one is going to call BS on it.
