Alright , you college student pirate assholes , LISTEN UP . Cary Sherman and Mitch Bainwol , the chairwoman and CEO of the RIAA , respectively , have a message for you in an op / ed onInside Higher Ed . litigate all of you is “ necessary ” because what you ’re doing is costing “ billions of dollar mark in lose revenue , millions of dollars in lost taxis , thousands of fall back line . ” That ’s right , hoi polloi are losing their business . grand of them . I ’m not indisputable who or what they did , but this is probably because now they ’re unemployed , thanks to you .
You stole two third of your music . You told the NPD you did . So now , “ finding a criminal record computer storage still in business anywhere near a campus is a difficult assignment at best . ” It ’s not because of Best Buy and Wal - Mart undercut them with lower prices or anything , it ’s because those super low price were n’t low enough for your thieving derriere .
And these goddamned university are so disobliging . The RIAA is being super helpful and showing them all kinds of ways block P2P totally to block you mongrel in your tracks , since “ the consuming , if not sole , use of these applications on campus is to lawlessly download and distribute copyrighted works . ” It ’s not like anyone in reality uses thatBitTorrent storage , after all .

It ’s a blasted shame schools are n’t doing more , because they have a “ moral responsibleness , as pedagogue , as organisation transmitting values ” to learn you jackasses not to steal medicine . Which is why “ when schools increasingly cater their student with amenities like cable TV , there is simply no reasonableness not to offer them garish or free legal access to the music they crave . ” Yeah , school day should pay for the licenses for those service . The RIAA merit that money , so they get pay even if you resort to stealing music encode at a high bit charge per unit with no DRM . esurient assholes .
Artists ’ mansions are shrinking . Their children are only able to afford a Wii and a 360 , but not a PS3 . Think about that the next time you download Nelly ’s new album , or even some up - and - come band ’s Modern disc which you tell all your friends about so they go to their shows and hooey . You just stole a CD from them .
God , why do you keep plain about the RIAA ? They ’re just attempt to “ cultivate these particular students about the importance of music … and the importance of respecting and valuing medicine as cerebral attribute . ” You do n’t have to be a pirate for life . The RIAA can help . It just needs asmall settlementto get you originate .
