17.08.05 - RIAA Douchebags Admit Bootlegging is more a proble
Its blatantly obvious, but you know what these retards are like.

The Recording Industry Ass. of America has acknowledged that P2P file-sharing is less of a threat to music sales than bootleg CDs.
The RIAA's chief executive, Mitch Bainwol, last week said music fans acquire almost twice as many songs from illegally duplicated CDs as from unauthorised downloads, Associated Press reports.
According to Bainwol, in turn citing figures from market watcher NPD, 29 per cent of the recorded music obtained by listeners last year came from content copied onto recordable media. Only 16 per cent came from illegal downloads.
Legal downloads accounted for four per cent of music acquisitions, while official CDs accounted for almost 50 per cent of the total.
The RIAA's favoured solution appears to be copy-protected CDs, which are gradually spreading throughout the music CD market. This approach "is an answer to the problem that clearly the marketplace is going to see more of," Bainwol told the news agency.
[PC_A] The problem is, once they start putting copy protection on all CDs and controlling what you can / can't do with them they will drive legitamate consumers onto downloaded / pirated copies to avoid restrictive use allowances. Cretins
