The RIAA threatened a small establishment in my very small town with a $25,000 punitive lawsuit if they didn't start handing over $1,200 every few months just because every now and then the establishment has hired local entertainment that sings a cover or two for a handful of patrons. This is totally mob like behavior which is protected by a corrupt political system. Time to occupy RIAA street... anybody have directions?
