The Consumer Electronics Association is taking out advertisements attacking the RIAA, stating, "It's Time the Content Industry Learned the Difference - The Big Content Companies are at it Again. ... Stop this unprecidented government intrusion into your private, noncommercial and legitimate home entertainment practices. Tell the record labels to start cracking down on real pirates, not consumers."
