A lot of mixtapes I made in grade school were songs taped off the radio, which today could get me sued (understandably). But if you want to make an iTunes playlist mix using songs from CDs you've legally purchased in 2007, that's grounds for an RIAA lawsuit? Give me a break. Good point, Jason.

I've always been in the camp that people shouldn't steal music... that music-sharing sites is really stealing. But it makes it hard to defend the music industry when they think suing their own customers who are doing what we've all done since the age of mix-tapes is a good idea. This is astonishing to me.
