Wow we just went there last weekend and I couldn't believe all the crap they were selling! Hubby commented on the fact that they were already selling 'Kung Fu Panda'. I did get a cute pair of sunglasses for $5 and hubby got a new belt. Corn and veggies were 'spensive though so we didn't get any produce.

Most of that non-sense is in the middle of the market, which is the area I avoid. We were there about 11:30'ish getting fruits and veggies. It seemed more crowded today than in the past weeks, but now that the market next to the library has expanded, I may just avoid the actual main market all together for the rest of the summer.

They will be back in business next week. :ohwell: And, all of us who go there on a regular basis know that.

Well heck, we missed it! Maybe they'll "kick" all the bootleggers out and it can go back to being an actual "Farmer's Market" like it used to be!! We don't go there anymore. We go to the one by the Library.

Yeah ,. I imagine they have been making purchases and rounding up evidence for some time. I too remember when it was a real market.

Funny thing is its owned by an ex St Mary's County Sherriff.

The RIAA states that the U.S. economy loses approximately 300 million dollars yearly to music piracy alone

BullChit .... assuming the loss of sales, @ the store, is someone now pirating a cd or song ....

this does not account for a rise of iTunes and other online retail sellers ... and people deciding not to pay 13.99 for a CD with one good track on it ....

RIAA officials sometimes accompany police on the busts as was the case in several recent Chinatown investigations. However, for the biggest jobs, the RIAA goes in alone. According to Virelli, “they have lawyers whose whole job it is to get them search warrants. They can go in there are do the bust themselves.” A series of legal loopholes and careful legal maneuvering allows RIAA investigators to circumvent state laws regarding search and seizure. “Remember,” Cohn points out, “a private individual (or entity) can go on your land and take your stuff and it can still be presented as evidence. And some states have provisions for private search warrants as well.”

New York attorney Niki Warin calls attention to the added difficulty of challenging private entity searches: “Whether or not that entity has exercised its authority appropriately depends upon the specific facts, but they are quite often allowed to conduct them without law enforcement. Indeed, when law enforcement is not involved, there are often less challenges available to the search—the 4th Amendment protects us from unlawful search and seizure by the government, not by private entities, so often the argument is made that the private entity search was in fact instigated or related to the police.”

The RIAA’s ability to obtain its own search warrants might explain the 23 percent increase in anti-piracy investigation search warrants in the last two years, as reported by the RIAA website. Despite repeated calls, RIAA spokeswoman Amanda Hunter refused to comment on this.

Seems like a reasonable amount to me. The stores aren't getting their 14 bucks, the government isn't getting their taxes, and the loss of becaus of people selling the stuff on the black market.

If you look at the pics on the link provided, the sign for the store states that their hours on Th, Friday & Sat are from 9 a.m -12 a.m. :eyebrow: What else were they selling for the need to stay open so late on weekends? :whistle:
