So here is some fun stuff you can use.
To lazy to write you own letters? Cut and paste one of these, add your
personal information and the bands information, and sign your name:
To a band or label you are happy with and want to support:
Your Name
Your Addreess
Band or Label
Their Address
Hello,
I am writing to inform you that I have recently purchased and album from
(band or label) because your music and production is high quality and because
you do not support the RIAA.
The indpendent bands and music promoters are important to me, and I wanted
to let you know that I support (band or label) because of your stance against
the RIAA.
Sincerely,
Your Name
To a band or label you are boycotting:
Your Name
Your Addreess
Band or Label
Their Address
Hello,
I am writing to inform you that I have recently decided not to purchase
(band or label and album name) because I found that you support or are
a member of the RIAA.
I disgree with the practices of the RIAA against consumers who are music
lovers and find it unfortunate that I will no longer be able to support
(band or label) because of your membership to the RIAA. If your status
or that of the RIAA changes at some time in the future I may consider
buying your material again.
Sincerely,
Your Name

Boycotting sounds like a good idea to me and something I am for. Since I listen to mostly music I download from MP3.com and buy CDs of little known bands from there, anyone know if the site has anything to do with RIAA?

I wonder how long it's going to take for musicians to realize how they can use P2P as a tool to get their music out.
(I have to question the artistic integrity of someone who is more concerned with getting a paycheck than getting his or her message to the world at large. As it is, if his or her stuff is really good, the people will buy it anyway, if they can afford to pay those inflated prices...)
At any rate, P2P has introduced me to some really awesome artists, including Sisters of Mercy.

I rarely buy CD's so boycotting the RIAA shouldn't be a problem. Plus, the bands that I like rarely are "mainstream" so that gives them a less chance of being RIAA affiliate.
I don't really understand why the RIAA hasn't been taken to court for monopoly, either...I guess they have money and authority support backing them up.
