My perfectly legal
Soundcard was pretty built to piss the RIAA off.
It's got phono in and out (complete with phono amp so that I can hook a turntable directly up to it. I might have recorded a few albums with the 'home taping is killing music' sleeves on the inside).
If I want to pirate music, then all I need a phono lead and hook the output to the input. Simples...
Yet they freak out over a small tool like this? There's a very similar project to download iPlayer content but I don't see Aunty* screaming about it.
* Aunty being old slang for the BBC.
