The RIAA can go to Hell
So there's a flaw in the otherwise impenetrable armor of my fancy new iPhone, and that's the unfortunate fact that I can't have Godzilla's roar be my ringtone. How awesome would that be? Pretty awesome, I tell you what. BUT. Since the Recording Industry Association of America (AKA the RIAA) wants to make mountains of money by retaining ringtone rights (while simultaneously denying that money to the performers who wrote the music in the first place), Apple had to neuter the customizable ringtone option for the iPhone.
Which means that, until iTunes sets up one of many Godzilla roars in their library for the ringtone upgrade (which would cost me another 99 cents, even though I already bought several Godzilla roars from them), I'm stuck with the old-fashioned phone ring from 1965. Which is kind of fun anyway.
But it's no primal roar of pre-nuclear breath awesomeness.
