Free (as in beer) Media: If we don’t watch out it’s gone

Just read this article on the RIAA’s latest bullshit.

Presumable, first they say copying a bought CD is OK.

Now they say it’s infringing use. From the article:

If I understand what the RIAA is saying, “perfectly lawful” means “lawful until we change our mind.” So your ability to continue to make copies of your own CDs on your own iPod is entirely a matter of their sufferance.

Believe me, the same will happen to be able to play the damned file. They’re making money at both ends while the end-user, the consumer, yes that’s us all, get sucked dry.

But the warnings are there. The writing’s on the wall.

The multitude seems just too happy to ignore it though.
