The RIAA was a necessary evil. Someone needed to produce the music for musicians. The way I see it the RIAA is full of itself. It still thinks it is the only way for a musician to become popular. With the Internet and file sharing RIAA is in big trouble. All these years it has been around it could have been working on customer loyalty, offering discounts and other incentives. Instead it chose to gouge the music consumer and pay very little to the artist. Case in point, the start of this post. If the RIAA had it's way you would fork over cash for each type of media they decide to release an artist on. I bet they were drooling when they realized CDs would be replaced much faster than LPs. I am sure someone at the top saw the technology trends back in the mid 80's and saw big old $$ floating everywhere. Fortunately for the consumer the advent of P2P is going to cut them off at the knees. When they are dead and gone the top cats are still going to be scratching their heads wondering what went wrong.
BTW, if you voted YES I should feel guilty, I'd like to hear why.
