RIAA Versus Radio Boradcasters

[Epsilon]

It appears that the RIAA doesn't want people playing songs on the radio anymore.

At least not without a cut.

I'm flabbergasted at the towering mountain of stupidity that is the RIAA.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! If they actually GET what they're asking for, the LACK of their music on radio is going to be the final nail in
their coffin.

At least all those unsigned and local bands will have somewhere to go to get their music played, because radio will be BEGGING for something to play that is
NOT "approved" by these music mafia morons.

Hmm... It might actually make radio worth listening to again!

Go for it, RIAA! PLEASE win this one!

Point that gun RIGHT AT YOUR OWN HEAD AND PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER!!!!!

It might, if we're lucky.

Then again, there's an awful lot of awful music out there released under a Creative Commons licence...

I'm deeply bemused by one of the articles linked to from that page.

The MPAA has pretty much jumped the legal shark with this one. "We shouldn't have to prove that people are breaking the law. It's too hard."

Uhm... ok. Then I shouldn't have to prove that (insert politician here) is a dumbass and should be thrown out of office.
