Hilary Rosen Will Step Down As RIAA Head

Posted by timothy on from the yawn dept.

Phoenix666 writes "NYT Business reports Hilary Rosen is leaving. Question is, what head will spring from the Hydra next? Could this signal a shift in the RIAA's tactics? The article reports 'Rosen's departure comes as the organization sought to soften its image among Internet consumers, many of whom viewed the RIAA -- and Rosen personally -- with antipathy over incessant pressure for crackdowns on sharing digital music over the Internet.'" A press release on the RIAA site says that Rosen will leave at the end of this year.

    If that is the case, she will now move on to corrupt the Shire with industrialism. So what do you expect "the Shire" to equate to in real life? What will she move on to destroy next?

    She's just stepping down to be with her "life partner" (aka lesbian lover) and their twin kids. She's probably already rich enough to not have to work anymore. CEO's suck cash out of all businesses.
