[B]According to the RIAA, ALL mp3s you download, regardless of who made them, whether or not you own them etc are ILLEGAL. [/B} The RIAA can only bust you for the ones that it owns, but in the end they're all illegal.
To the best of my knowledge and abilities to find information on search engines, the RIAA has never taken the stance that ALL mp3s are illegal. They have made a number of other mistakes over the last few years but declaring ALL mp3s has not been amongst those errors.
I also made an error. I was out of hand saying you were full of shit. Sorry about that but I've been a bit edgy today and should enforce some self censorship here. I've had a bit of an issue with people making up public policies and laws in my assorted news groups without any basis in reality.
Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
