Like you say they found her guilty of doing what she was accused. They were not making a decision about how the music world should work. If these people were informed of how few rights they have relating to music would they say the same thing? <br /><br />I'd love to know how many of the people on the jury have illegally copied music to cassette in the past? How many of them have given an illegal copy of an album to a friend or family? How many of them have illegally made up a mixtape for that special someone in their lives? How many of these jurors, who are aware of peer-to-peer, use it? How many of them copied the contents of their mp3 players from a cd in direct violation of the laws the RIAA love to enforce? How many of them would be happy to hear that the RIAA would love to place DRM on music that would mean they aren't allowed to play it on that mp3 player even though they legally bought it? Oh they didn't ask proper questions? Why am I not surprised?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
