Sorry if I sound like a raving fanatic, but I am. The RIAA is a floundering dinosaur stuck in a tar pit, trying in vain to preserve a business model that no longer exists. It is a global economy now and the web has changed everything. If I want to buy DVDs from some Asian clearinghouse that are perfectly legal, come in English, and only cost me a dollar each, it is my right to do so. I shouldn't be forced to buy the same DVD for 20 dollars or whatever just because the RIAA has imposed and lobbied for so many taxes and fees on consumer products. If the RIAA has their way with the music and movie industry, and gets things like regions established as actual laws, this means a monopoly of sorts with American only DVDs, and they could just keep jacking the price up and screwing us.
