RIAA Going After Fair Use

Ok a bit dramatic, However, the RIAA has filed a lawsuit against an individual in Arizona for keeping over 2000 recordings of music he purchased on his computer. Jeffrey Howell, from Scottsdale, Arizona has decided enough is enough and decided to fight back against the greedy and usurious RIAA. The RIAA believes that it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into their computer. If so then aren't Apple, Winamp, Microsoft and all those other companies who enable this capability then guilty of facilitating a crime ... come on, grow up and let people get on with their lives. Go after the big fish not the little fish. These lawyers and bigwigs are nothing more than economic terrorists. Fighting a war against the soft targets such as everyday people instead of going after the harder to reach and immensely more wealthy and organized pirates. This smacks of desperation as yet another year of sublimely inane music seeks to have passed, maybe just maybe they should instead focus their attention on producing real music rather than all the packaged and remixed rubbish that seems to be rife in modern music.
