When CD burners are outlawed, only outlaws will have CD burners?

I guess that makes me one four times over 'cause that's how many I've got. Two CD only burners and two CD/DVD combo burners. :D

To think when I was in "high" school a "burner" meant something completely different. :o :D

Pariser believes in a very broad definition of stealing that is echoed by many supporters in the RIAA. She believes that users who buy songs are entitled to one, and only one copy. Burning CDs is just another name for stealing, in her mind.

In her mind? Who is this maniac?

[RedjackRyan]

she probably also doesn't believe men landed on the moon either.

Like I always tell people Redjack, if I wanna go on a guilt trip I'll call my travel agent. How lame.

She must be smoking too much wacky tobaci.

I suppose the next logical step will be to require that one purchase a copy of a CD for each player it is to be played on. After all, if you have a CD player in your car and you take a CD out of your house for use in your car, that's a sale lost to RIAA which it wouldn't have lost if you had bought a CD just for your car. Therefore it is the moral equivalent of theft.

It's enough to make you wish the NRA would take an interest in copyright issues and recording formats.

But judging from the size of my ever-growing :rolleyes: CD collection, there wouldn't be any room for the passengers if we did that :p How ludicrously nutty can this get????? :D

OR taxation on our ears. OR a cover charge to enter a shopping mall. Those places pipe in all kinds of music, and it seems every shop I pass has its own playing too. Oy! http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k267/deemark/Emoticons/twirlyhead.gif <--- not a CD. :p

We definitely need to install racks of CD burners on the pirate ship. Bet we could get our Internet access through Sealand, the world's smallest country (it's an abandoned radar platform off the coast of Irelant) who major industry is providing discreet and private internet access.
