So a few hebdomad agowe report that the RIAA had exact that just rip atomic number 48 was enough to get you sued . Later , jumping on the bandwagon , the Washington Postreported the same affair . turn out , it ’s not precisely dead on target . The RIAA claims that pull a CD and then putting the filing cabinet into a divvy up booklet is illegal , which we disagree with but is a little less flabbergasting . The confusion arose with the wording , which called ripped copies “ unauthorised . ”

What ’s the difference between unauthorized and illegal ? Well , when the RIAA says ripped copies of CD are unauthorised , they ’re pretty much saying they do n’t like it but ca n’t block you from doing it . When they say it ’s illegal , they ’re taking your nookie to tourist court and trying to ruin your life because you shared a Coldplay CD on Kazaa back in 2002 . This is n’t to say that the RIAA has improved its standing in our eyes — no , we still think it ’s the douchiest group of douches around — but even they know that no one will accept that ripping a candle in itself is illegal .
