The Register brings us an article about the RIAA’s desire for tougher laws. It’s written in The Register’s typical, biased style… but the quotes in the article speak for themselves. We’ll leave the last, chilling word to Sony Music Entertainment’s Steve Heckler: “Once consumers can no longer get free music, they will have to buy the music in the formats we choose to put out.” My comment to Steve Heckler: consumers don’t have to buy anything.

Always remember that.
