I agree that the system as it stands is very fucked up. The RIAA is definitely a bane to both artists and people.
This said what solution were you proposing exactly? government enforced price fixing? Trustbusting?
The way I see it is P2P is going to kill them eventually. money has never been what drove good music, so that's not really a problem. Basically this is one of the few situations in the world where if everything stands as it does, and no big horrible changes are made to the legal system or laws as they stand everything will clear itself up.
maybe I'm just being optimistic today.
