I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Makes sense.  A tax on blank media does seem somewhat like a pass for P2Ping

That was the idea behind it.

Well, I try my best not to listen to any music by RIAA-affiliated bands, so it's not such a big deal to me.

If they actually change the law, then I'll start avoiding CRIA-affiliated bands, too. I doubt I listen to any of them at the moment, but still!

The law is good and bad, from what I understand. It's bad, because all the CDs I use to back up data cost me extra money. It's also bad because from what I hear, the money isn't going to artists, it's going to record companies. It's good, of course, because it makes downloading music legal, which it should be.

In any case, I don't care. I'll continue to support artists and labels that aren't in the habit of screwing their fans.

Sigh... Labels. The only cool labels are the ones that get every band in the label to tour together alot.
