This is a 2002 article. Another installment of the ongoing slander of the RIAA by the technology press.

While the RIAA supplies lawyers, it is the labels, artists and songwriters who actually sue.

technology press? The Onion is the technology press? I think this is an apt comedic comment on the negative image the RIAA has set for itself - through its own actions.

Do the artists/songwriters (the folks that matter) actually see any money from the RIAA sponsored suits against parents of file trading kids?

[Bob Olhsson]

You bet they do.

"Top 40 radio is taking the power out of the hands of the Ahmet Erteguns of the world and bringing it back to the people of Clear Channel and Infinity Broadcasting. It's about time somebody finally stood up to those record-company fascists."

This does remind me of something though. Remember "Home taping is killing music?"
