Thanks Arp2, I learned how to use the quote button!RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs. The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances or associates about new songs, artists or albums. "We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating ‘buzz’ about any proprietary music, movies or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities and living rooms.

The Onion spoofs the RIAA junk
This is from a recent edition of The Onion (www.theonion.com):
"We are the CC Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your broadcast stations. We will add your biological and creative distinctiveness to our own. Your broadcast personality will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
