I'm proud to say that I haven't bought a CD from any lable who is a member of the RIAA for almost 2 years now.
Do a little research and you'll find that we already pay royalties for copied CDs in the form of a tax, the RIAA was found guilty of price fixing, they are currently in legal battles with 28 states, sales have increased over the past years even though they claim otherwise and they continue to leverage their control of copyrights to wipe out or buy out competition (can you say mp3.com and napster).
