It is the biggest argument with the RIAA as well. It has been proven stastically that the prople who buy boot leg or download mp3 will not buy the song in its original incarnation anyway. Also notice they always talk about "potential sales". So how we can draw a parallel argument with this absurd agreement of well if you dont design this product to well, you must reinbused me with X number of lost sales. Such an argument will never hold in court and i dont understand how the RIAA can continue to push such a argument. Note: I dont support illeagal downloads. I only buy original CDs.
