They are out of their ever lovin' minds if they think I will pay for the same music over-and-over so I can continue using it for my personal use. BTW, the verdict is in, she was found guilty and fined $222,000. You hit the nail on the head, Luis.

You pay them to buy the CD, you pay again to listen on your computer, you pay again to have a backup, you pay again to listen on a media player... and you pay them again just so they can have more money.

That's stealing! You have to buy another orange for that. And don't think of using the orange rind in a recipe, that's not covered under the DRM law. Buy another orange.
