The RIAA, the folks who want to get laws passed to dictate to hardware manufacturers what sort of technology they can produce, aren’t filling me with much confidence that they understand anything about technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday [the RIAA] issued a press release announcing a piracy bust in New York which unearthed 421 CD-R burners.

\nIn fact, there were just 156. How did the RIAA account for this discrepancy?
\n“There were only 156 actual burners, but some run at very high speeds: some as high as 40x. This is well above the average speed,” was the official line yesterday.<\/p>\n

Riiiiiiigghhhtt.<\/p>\n
