We took time out of history class to rant about Sony because my teacher was angry that he'd bought a $600 camera and then was required to buy a $30 cord from them for something for it, since they have that kind of monopolistic thing going on with it.

i think it would be better to boycott other music companies that use DRM right now. would work better than boycotting sony, they'd take it that thier releasing of MP3s wasn't a good idea.

just to point out how stupid the RIAA is.
notice how it's the book industry doens't blame people lending books to thier friends, nor libraries, whereas the RIAA is all about that. |

Barnes and Noble is perfectly fine with me sitting and reading their books and magazines for hours on end with little intention of buying anything besides several caffienated beverages and maybe a pretzel if I stay long enough. Still, my Starbucks fixation does the authors no good, and it's harder to make money off a book than a cd, because at least there's concerts and merchandise, etc. What do you get out of a book tour?

^ Some people (like me) actually buy books from Barnes and Nobles. Much more comfortable reading at home.
