If they're gonna go after them...

...they'll need to address the issue of addiction. You know what I'm talking about, it started on Monday.

I'm telling you this right now, my intent for using KaZaA in the first place (I stopped months ago- you hear me? I STOPPED!) was to find one song that has been impossible to find because it's an opera album that may or may not have made it onto cd.

So why did I keep going after I found it? I got hooked. I kept thinking "cool, now that I've found this, I wonder what else I can find!" And it kept on going and going and going. I wanted to stop and knowing myself I needed a good swift kick in the ass in order to do it. I knew I was headed down the road to disaster when I found myself thinking "who needs the radio when you've got this?"

That was too far and I wanted out when I felt myself think that. I did get my good swift kick in the ass and quitted the practice.

Now, if RIAA is gonna go after the supernodes and then trickle down (how they intend to get all 60 million users if that's what they're going for I'll never know) then one issue that's going to have to come up is addiction. If no one else tells them about it, I will.

Btw, I found said opera song on my first try. It came out perfectly, it DID make it to cd, but derned if I can get my hands on a copy. If only the house approved of shopping online, but I ain't letting our credit card numbers fly around cyberspace. I wonder if we can special order it...
