This whole Audio Galaxy shutdown pisses me off.
In the United States its now common practice to sue the person with the deepest pockets and it just isnt right. Cincinnati is now suing 15 different handgun makers in wrongful death suites. Sure, they made the guns but they didnt pull the trigger. The only reason they are being sued is because they have deep pockets. The real piss off is that the criminals who commited the crimes were probably sentenced to eight years, out in four on parole. They dont even enforce their handgun laws then they attack the handguns companies because people get shot. Its the same deal with Audio Galaxy. The end users get away free and a big company pays the toll.

The only reason the RIAA doesnt sue the end users is because they cant sue a billion people. When a billion people are infringing on your copyright you have to wonder why that is. Maybe if the RIAA stopped screwing their own customer base they wouldnt have these problems. How many times have you bought a $30.00 CD just to get one song you liked ? And how many times have you bought the same song ? We had records, 8 track, cassettes, now CDS. Some recordings I have bought several times. I'll bet I have spent over $300.00 in the past buying replacements of some of my favorite recordings. Why should I have to spend so much ? If you bought a content CD and the CD broke would you expect the provider to charge you $3000.00 for a replacement CD ? Of course not, but the record industry does it every day and their consumers are fed up with it. I dont know what the solution is but suing all these companies isnt going to stop millions of people who want to trade mp3. The record industry has to make some changes. Maybe they should offer end user licenses.
