Why should people boycott the recording industry? Pfft. They control 90% of all recorded music in the US and they take over half the profit. If that isn't a monopoly, then I am Uncle Moneybags.
Anyway, the point is, if you want to avoid the $150,000-per-song lawsuits that the RIAA keeps filing against innocent pirates and yet can't bring yourself to support the Evil Empire, there is hope! Illegal file sharing is not the only answer!
You can trade CDs with friends (which is still illegal as far as the RIAA is concerned, but way harder to prosecute unless your friends narc you out). You can also buy music on fairtunes, where all the money goes to the artists and none to the industry. You could buy your CDs used at your local music outlet or check out second spin. Or, most importantly, you could listen to KRFH for completely RIAA free music all day, every day. Except this week. And winter break. And spring break. And all summer. But still! That's a whole lotta music!
