Why do you care what they do though?
Obviously, and this can't be said enough, it works for musicians because they have options. Many choose to stick with the Big Four despite all the things that everyone says are big and bad. So if musicians keep on keepin' on, and you admit that filesharers are committing crimes, then what do you care if the RIAA decides to go after those people or not? There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't care, per se. It's their business and they can run it as they see fit. It just doesn't seem like all their efforts are accomplishing much, besides providing a constructive defense of their copyrights. That said, the reason for my interest in this subject, I suppose, is that I wonder how this will be resolved (or if it even will be). Will copyright laws be redefined, the internet regulated, or will things continue merrily on as they have been? Basically, I find the RIAA's dilemma interesting, because I'm not sure how it can really be solved.

I think extant and future players in the music industry should fundamentally operate like buskers. The jury's still out on whether or not this would jeopardise the ability of artists to earn a living from art, and I daresay it'll rule in my favour. Tomorrow's labels will just have to focus hard on concert revenue (provided tomorrow's rockers aren't labels unto themselves). We pay top dollar for a genuine painting and peanuts for a poster of Guernica. The industry solicitors should let poster duplication slide.

I also haven't seen any National Days of Protest regarding the RIAA. I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
If you'd put it back in your pants, you might realise we're not disagreeing on that point. Album sales are irrelevant to a composer's ability to get paid or re-employed.
Have you always been like this? FELIPE NO
