The Recording Industry Association of America filed a $7.1 billion lawsuit against the nation's radio stations Monday, accusing them of freely distributing copyrighted music.

"It's criminal," RIAA president Hilary Rosen said. "Anyone at any time can simply turn on a radio and hear a copyrighted song. Making matters worse, these radio stations often play the best, catchiest song off the album over and over until people get sick of it. Where is the incentive for people to go out and buy the album?"

I'm shocked that they haven't done that yet but give them time. I'm sure that Lars is working on it.

Outraged by the RIAA suit, many radio listeners are threatening to boycott the record companies.
I would be one that would, I think it would Bullshit if they did. Its like what the hell are they thinking.

I do agree with the Lars being a pussy comment, him and the rest of the band. Maybe the next cd from them will be Jazz covers. Maybe they can call it the "Pink" album!!!!:evil:
