Using Firefox? How to avoid RIAA on Amazon.

OK, so this might be a niche group -- people who use firefox and want to buy RIAA free music from Amazon, but hey, maybe not! And if this helps just one person by making it easier to make an intelligent decision, then its worth it. Plus, this is neat.

The Goal: Install Greasemonkey and then the RIAA_Radar script.

(Greasemonkey is very cool, and has many uses -- including one of my favorites which adds a tiny little flash player next to any mp3 link on the web so that you can listen inline.)

Requirements: Firefox and a few minutes (really, it doesn't take long!)
  1. Install Greasemonkey by Aaron Boodman

  2. Install RIAA_Radar by Ben Hollis

  3. Go to amazon and look around for cds, you'll notice a little red
    WARNING
    that pops up next to the title of the cd on the detail page if the cd is RIAA, if it is "safe" you will see a little green
    SAFE
    icon. Each will link to RIAA Radar detail pages.
Another way to avoid RIAA music is to stick with netlabels, copyleft, & Creative Commons content. See Comfortstand, Jamendo, archive.org, Magnatune, BeatPick, ccmixter, WM Recordings, etc...

Have fun!

Great! I love Greasemonkey and this gives an additional reason to love it. Firefox generally provides such a better functionality over the other browsers.

RIAA seems to be loosing the battle as its being sued left and right and slowly the music industry realizes that its uses are very limited and that online music exchange does not hurt the music industry to an extent that they believe it does.

A Greasemonkey Guide will be written and posted on http://itech.webwarp.net in the near future. I'm hoping to have your permission to include the tip provided in this post, with a valid reference ofcourse.
