The genie is already out of the bottle, and RIAA is getting more and more desperate to stuff it back in. They'll fail. But they'll hurt a lot of people on their way down.
It occurs to me that an entirely new type of open-source "recording industry" is right around the corner. The next generation of artists (optimistically - or perhaps the following generation after that) may simply do a complete end-run around the established recording companies and make money directly from voluntary donations and on-line sales of their stuff.
Nothing would make me happier than to see the current system go down in flames. -Logan
