I love the RIAA (album, copyrighted, show, quote, bands)

"It's criminal," RIAA president Hilary Rosen said. "Anyone at any time can simply turn on a radio and hear a copyrighted song. Making matters worse, these radio stations often play the best, catchiest song off the album over and over until people get sick of it. Where is the incentive for people to go out and buy the album?"

These big corporations always seem to shoot themselves in the foot.

Ugh, s'lame.

You big silly goose, its an article by The Onion. All of their "reports" are just jokes.

What's sad is that doesn't sound too far fetched for them.

Lars Ulrich stopped in the other day wondering why his last royalty check was so small, and I didn't know what to say. How do you tell a man who's devoted his whole life to his music that someone is able to just give it away for free? That pirates are taking away his right to support himself with his craft?

lolol
