Hi !

Tony, where does that lead us, empeg or the world ??
You know that this would just be the start, to creep in front of such a small powerless organisation as the riaa, that strictly *just* has anything to say in the US ?!?
I mean, there has to be a border, where you stand and defend, otherwise it will just get worse and worse and at some time, for every baby born you have to give riaa money, because it will develop into an adult, just wanting to copy music ?!?!

That is paranoid, mad and it has *no* dignity at all to not even discuss things, but to creep before even dare to ask.

On the other side, empeg is not founded to save humans freedom, but to simply earn money ( and to make people's hobby their job, which is ideal, i try hard to do the same).
Tho if someone from empeg ltd tells me:

"We are going to creep in any way they want us to, whenever they want us to."

I can understand & accept this, i would do the same if it was my job, career and money.
But as a user, i ask the maximum of personal freedom and possibilities from a pruduct.

So don't let us start to creep in advance too, please ...

No matter how nice all empeg people are, they are in it for the money, and we are in it for the optimal product.

That fun and friendship and bidirectional understanding is involved is very nice, and that is what puts empeg ahead of all companies i ever bought a product from, but still it is a side effect.


Honestly i don't know what i wanted to write here at all, but basically i wanted to express my disgust of obying to a strange organization in any aspect without drawing a line of defense somewhere, because I am not here for the money, and i am not going to be sued for this, and the guys from empeg are old enough to define where they draw their line of cooperation between empeg and us AND between empeg and the RIAA and their affiliates.
