LOL. People rooting for the RIAA are very ignorant. The RIAA and the record label bosses don't give a flying f*ck about artists. They care about their own pockets.
That's why they only fight so hard to protect CDs. Most of the money from CD sales go to their pockets while artists pocket from touring, publishing and merchandise.
They could easily sit around a table a find a way to license EVERYBODY so that they could monetize society's current behaviours. But since that would benifit the artists more than it would benifit them (at least that's how they see it) that couldn't be bothered even though they had 10 years to do so.
The touring indusrty is dominated by old artists and there a very few new artists that can compete, but since record labels don't make money from it (except when the convinced some dumb artists to sign 360 deals) the don't care about it.
I love the music industry but I hate this current system.
