They can't face that fact.
Ah, good one. I was looking for something along those lines to add in, that's a quality article.
<b>Teacher: Its already available on kazaa</b>
<span style='color:green'>Student: OMG Really? How widespread is it?</span>
<b>Teacher: Its pretty bad... I'd say that just about everybody has a copy by now.</b>
<span style='color:green'>Student: AWESOME!! WORLD TOUR!!!</span>
<b>Teacher: !!!???</b>
<span style='color:red'>RIAA: Aw nuts, fux0red again.</span>
Any publicity is good publicity. If people care enough to download your music, then they will probably go see you in concert. And I think Concerts are the main money makers.
"Ok, kids-- now you know what it's like to have your music downloaded. Now, remove your pants, bend over, and get ready to feel what it's like to sign a record contract."
but they would not have the inefficient bureaucracy the RIAA is right now.
Ask if the music-sharers like my music.
To amuse the teacher: order a hit on whomever she names as "music-sharers".

A big ROFL to you!
If I like a band I will BUY their album/single/whatever, the quality of stuff on Kazza is quite often crappy. And you can't put it in a CD player (and I have yet to find a way to make CDs that are playable in anything other than a computer, but that may just be nubbishness)
I wouldn't care. If I made a CD and people downloaded my songs, be it, as long as they like my music I'm fine with that. It's all I'd relaly care for. And it's not like everyone downloads. There's still millions of copys being sold. I want to be in that little "Activity" and show them they can kiss my ***.

First: RIAA, you can kiss my arse. You're killing your own sales, because no one will buy anything they haven't heard. What next? going after Radio? (I mean, sheesh, I can listen to it for free all day!)
To burn it to where it's readable by a mobile and/or stereo, it has to be recorded as a music CD, not a data CD. After burning, it should mearly be labled as Track (whatever), not its former file name.
I use the the Roxio EZ CD creator atm, came with my burner, and it gives you the choice at the launch of the program... And the one CD I've burned has worked on my CD-player...
Of course, it could be yours is too old or broken or something...
Yes you can, Roxio's, as Liger said, works well. Or, just burn a data CD and play it on a MP3 CD player. I have one, and thanks to the Data CD, I have 68 songs on 1 CD and around 4 of them are over an hour long. ~_^
If the recording industry doesn't want to wise up and start selling their music the way the Internet allows them too (and it is quite possible to devise a system to sell music over the Internet and prevent sharing), then things will get worse. I might be a thief, but I don't pretend to be something I'm not either. I don't see any quotes in this thread that say "I am not a thief, the RIAA shouldn't be suing people", and nobody mentioned PC games, so I don't see how that has any connection here.
<b>Fact: </b> The majority of music/movie/game piracy is done outside the United States, including the Middle East and Asia.
'nuff said.
