mm, they just want money.
Of course the recording companies know they are largely redundant,
Nokia will have free music downloads on they mobile phones, also to PC,
next year, once contract is already made, many artists publish their
own music online.
Sure, binary groups also carry likely copyrighted content.
And less and less Usenet servers carry all binary groups.
What those RIAA guys really want is lock everything up, while I did
read yesterday: 'There is no way kids will pay for digital copies',
from an other recording industry source.

Of course payed for from the connection fees.
So, maybe RIAA will try to kill binary groups.
Shortly after followed by ASCII groups, as those can display song texts
;-)
Maybe we can all write to Putin and ask him to mark RIAA offices as
targets for his new ICBMs.
They are just trying to make the Internet is the same lawyer sucking brain
dead
system as they are themselves.
I bet the suckers read this too, to them: middle finger up.
