  1. Inevitably, the RIAA will win. They have their own massive resources as well as the support of the entire conservative business world.

  2. How can a industrial association possibly posses so much legal power? I’m more afraid of the RIAA than the FBI.

Everybody from labels, users, artists and their lawyers can’t figure out why they are so hell bent on destroying, crippling, or regularing every new innovation that hits the music scene — and it boils down to that simple truth. They’re using a collection right – stupidly handed to them on a silver platter by the US government with no oversight – to prop up the failing RIAA core business models.

I hope to god they’re:

a) Getting some sort of affiliate cut from that and b) Tracking that I clicked their amazon (affiliate?) link so they can show the RIAA they’re driving purchases.
