My view on this:

 

About fucking time. I hope the RIAA is bled into bankrupcy.

So I just realized I moved this to the wrong place. Is it possible to move it to Off Topic?

Good luck to Shahanda Moursy, I wonder if they'll have enough money to hire a decent lawyer, cos I know the RIAA will be spending millions on their defence

If a donation page or something pops up I'll definitely donate. I'm sure I'm also not the only one.

WIN! As a musician myself, I think record labels and RIAA are the worst thing ever thought up, most artists only make a dollar per record anyway which is a fraction of the record labels profits from other peoples art, the only way to really support the musicians you love is to go to their concerts and buy their swag which is pretty pathetic that they can't even make good money off selling their own albums. Unless you're Kid Rock and make your own label :P

About time......I doubt it'll go anywhere, but really it's about time.

While I do not advocate piracy, it seems as if the organizations that oversee the music copyrights are doing it more for themselves than those who created the music. And that is the shame of it all.

Also, to make it gaming relevant -- even Nintendo will not pick a fight with the RIAA (the music references and clips are the reason for the lack of Earthbound on the VC). So this lawsuit appears to be Quixotic.



      


I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

You mean the similarity between the Runaway Five (Six!) and The Blues Brothers?



  Awesome trailer for the new Ganbare Goemon game, to be released in March, 2009 for... Well, it's a Pachinko machine with a display. Oh, God.

 *NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII*:  Now it's gonna happen!!! Thank you so much Nintendo.

I keep hearing that but actually playing the game and knowing the amazing soundtrack by heart, I really don't see how anyone could link the music in the game to musical artists.

Personally I advocate anything that brings down organizations like the RIAA and gets record labels to change their tone, IE let the artists make their music and give them their fair share of the album profits, not a dollar.
