Doesn't the RIAA consitute a monopoly? I realize that it's a group of different record companies, but isn't it sort of like the DeBeers monopoly on diamonds? One group controlling most of a product and going well beyond normal overcharging to the point of violating antitrust laws?

There can't be any way the largest providers of an industry can have a group that exists purely for the purpose of keeping their prices artificially high and not be investigated. I mean, we can get a committee on how much Barry Bond's nuts have shrunk from steriod use, but nothing on why we're paying well beyond fair market value on something pretty much everyone buys?
