I'm all for musicians getting paid for their work, but this is beginning to be a cash cow for litigation happy lawyers. I've left the links to the story below.

I agree...ridiculous. Just a way lawyers are trying to get more money.

However, I think pretty soon they'll adopt something similar to what we have for software....allowing us to create backups.

 
What the RIAA doesn't seem to get through their thick, moneymaking skulls is that they get more exposure through music sharing. If I'm in Best Buy and I see a CD by some band I don't know, chances are I won't buy it because I have no idea if I'll like it or not. However, if I hear one of their songs that someone has on their iPod, maybe I'll go buy their CD because I'll know if I like them.
