Re: Is it about to rain on our MP3 Parade?

[Grimshaw Stuart <stuart.grimshaw@xxxxxxx>]

We of course know the reason why they want to stop people creating their
own MP3's. It's because they want to sell them for themselves. So they
can rip us the paying public off even more.

And unfortunatly people, it's going to happen because the majority of
the consumer goods buying public out there have more money than sense,
beleive everything they see in so called "expert magazines", on
the
television and hear on the radio, and don't have the backbone to stand
up for themselves and the the rest of the populace and refuse to pay the
rip-off prices.
