What is RIAA/MPAA/DRM and WGA?

I hate viruses and spyware, but AOL is pretty gross too, and stoppable. So AOL is my most hated out of that list. Also I think they own netscape as I got a CD in the mail offering upto 19X FASTER Dial-Up! They sent this to my place that has CABLE. It was a Netscape CD but I noticed amongst the trademarks AOL. I had fun etching the surcfaces with a key and mentaly cursing AOL about their wasting of plastic.

What is RIAA/MPAA/DRM and WGA?


RIAA - Recording Industry Association of America
MPAA - Motion Picture Association of America
DRM - Digital Rights Management
WGA - Windows Genuine Advantage

I voted for RIAA/MPAA/DRM. the others I can take care of. I don't need to use an Apple, if I don't want to, and Microsoft isn't that bad, IMHO.

Spyware is annoying, but can be eliminated if you take proper precautions and I had never anything to do with AOL

but copy-protection on CDs is my main beef. I just hate it. and often it's on CD's that I'd really like, but I've made it a point to never again buy any Music-CDs that are copy-protected. :mad:

I didn't mind apple - after all I've never had to use it - unfortunately, there's one at work and I have to use it from time to time (about once a month for ten minutes) and now I plainly hate it - whoever came up with that unintuitive OS definitely smokes crack on a daily basis.

Second thing are ipods - neat as such, but why the heck just can't they make it recognizable as an external hard drive, like e.g. cowons products?

I wouldn't mind - after all I don't have an ipod, but more and more people start using Itunes and install it on shared computers at work, setting it as default player for music files and I just hate that software...
