Re: Why is music piracy so bad?

The efforts of the RIAA and their ilk in attempting to prevent piracy are only going to make me less likely to buy CDs. Why should I pay them money for a CD that violates the accepted standards, with the associated risk that it may not work in the device that I choose to play it on? If a the packaging for a "CD" states that it has copy-protection then it simply will not get bought. If it doesn`t state it clearly and it does have copy-protection it will get taken back to the shop as mis-sold.

If they want me to pay for music then they can stop attempting to dictate what devices it can and cannot be played on.
