So now they want to control ringtones too. Sweet. Next the RIAA will be suing songwriters for violating copyright. ;-)

I'm sick and tired of the BS propaganda machine from the RIAA
telling us that music pirating is stealing when in reality it's the RIAA
and the Labels who are the REAL PIRATES in all this greed...!!!

Please STOP buying music from the major record labels! Until they
get the message that we won't stand for it, they'll keep screwing
everyone they can for a buck.

Not only are they one major rip off but they're hella annoying. I

song play.

I agree, Ive been using a really cool third party app to make my own custom ringtones. It doesn't cost anything and its easy to use. I just don't get why people still pay for their ringtones You can check it out yourself. www.bongotones.com
