For those who thought the RIAA couldn't get any
worse...
While I entirely agree with the sentiment here -- disgust with this
organization's moral emptiness -- may I note that blaming the RIAA
misses
where the responsibility truly belongs.
It isn't the RIAA doing this stuff. It's the RIAA acting as directed
by its
owners: companies like Sony/BMG, EMI, Time Warner, Universal, etc.
Every time we cite the RIAA, we are failing to cite the people who
control
it. And they succeed in deflecting the blame for their own reprehensible
conduct.
