RIAA’s strong-armed shakedowns may be falling apart — especially when they get hit with court costs for bringing their frivilous lawsuits.
The victims should also have the right to sue RIAA for malicious prosecution or some similar punitive action.
What RIAA is doing is not much different than what Nifong did to the Duke laCrosse players. They create lawsuits without sufficient evidence to prosecute.
Sure. They just bet that the Little People have no resources to fight them and will pay protection.
That is why, even though as a lifelong respecter of IP, I have no sympathy for the Phonograph Mafia. Death is too good for them, because they are predators..and a lot of the time they do not even treat their artists much better than their quarry.
Music distribution is going through a major change. Trying to prevent the move by the old policy/money makers will eventually lose. This is an evolution... The same as when society moved from the farm to the cities, from horse & buggy to automobiles, from landlines to cellular, from television to internet. How information (and entertainment) is exchanged will always be changing. In the early days of records, the record industry tried to prevent radio stations from playing their records. It was because they wanted the sole market on how people heard their content. That failed then, and the RIAA will fail now... Cheers.

Don’t forget how the race baiters and the FRAUDcasters and the Duke,et al “intelligensia” supported them. This is SO much like the way the intelligensia has hopped on the global alarmist bandwagon, too... Must suppress all evidence to the effect that they’re not seeing and acting rationally.
