Uhm, no, JFerio.
Those are actual quotes Bob quoted.

That is what the RIAA and MPAA actually think and the way they want the world to work.

That's why so many of us call them the MAFIAA.

I refer to them, personally, as the Copyright Cartel. And I do believe it is the way they want the world to work, because to a certain extent, that's what it looked like they could do from their ivory towers for a rather long time. After all, no one can remember the way things were before recordings and radio, much less before printed music.
But the quotes only sound realistic... although I wouldn't be surprised if the sentiments had been expressed behind closed doors, away from those who don't think like that. On the other hand, all of their actions make it clear they would rather the internet just fade back away and leave their empires intact.
