This whole industry is out of control. This model is not sustainable into perpetuity. Pretty soon the backlash will happen and those that don't adapt will struggle to survive. They've fought every new innovation by hook or by crook. They may get their way for now but remember the internet is global and the U.S doesn't control it no m,atter how much they would like to think they do.
What the RIAA / BMI /MPAA / IFPI et al don't realise is that they are no longer the gatekeepers / distibutors. the old way of doing things is getting eroded everyday by technology. When they had the power they used to charge riduclous amounts for CD's. Even after they had screwed everybody they still charged $30 a disc. then the internet came along and the rest as they say is history. They want to get back to the day where they charge $30 a disc. They don't realise technology is evolving every year and it is getting better, faster and cheaper. artists are now making their own music they don't need $20,000 or $30,000 to make a record and distribute it. They don't need the marketing machine of the Industry. They don't need to press CD's to get their music out there. the genie is out of the bottle, they can try to buy congress and laws that favour them. But technologies march is always moving, just when they think they have found a way to control it, it slips out of their hands. we are witnessing the dying days of an old industry. It's going to be long and slow but when it's done we will be better for it.
The patent system in the U.S is such a mess that eventually it will become so debased from it's original purpose then watch the excrement hit the fan. Enjoy while you can boys the party is nearly over.
It seems the U.S is becoming quite the bully when it comes to copyright and enforcement of copyright. The U.S has been responsible for one of the worst financial disasters since the great depression.
Copyright enforcement is really low on the list of priorities. We'll just move on with our lives and you can keep ading to the watch list and priority watch list and super priority watch watch list.
The recording industry and I mean the record companies and the RIAA are hanging on grimly to an outdated and obsolete business model. The more they try to protect this model the more they are going to piss off their customers. We have reached a fork in the road, the way forward is clear, they can either dissolve into irrelevance or embrace the new opportunities that favour the brave.
Out Of Control

SPCA/BMI/RIAA/MPAA Are Obsolete
