more RIAA follies....

I know this has discussed here a lot in the past, but now the RIAA is claiming that it is illegal for you to even copy CD's to your computer for your own personal use:

In legal documents in its federal case against Jeffrey Howell, a Scottsdale, Ariz., man who kept a collection of about 2,000 music recordings on his personal computer, the industry maintains that it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his computer.

From: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/28/AR2007122800693.html

This is rediculous.....I could talk for hours about how much the RIAA sucks and how its just a bunch of businessmen who don't give two shits about music trying to bail out their sinking ship by legally attacking their customers.

Edit: Sorry if this belongs in the off-topic forum.
