Recording Industry Extinction Predicted RSN

Posted by michael on from the imminent-death-predictions-getting-boring dept.

nautical9 writes "There's an interesting commentary from Wired's Charles Mann, speaking of the imminent death of the recording industry as we know it. Nothing really ground-breaking here, but it is a good summary and somewhat fair treatment of the RIAA's current state-of-affairs, and offers a little insight into what the world of music may be like without them (hint: perhaps better off)."

    ... that's how the **AA would ...

    Is that supposed to be a glob or a regex? If regex, it's broken. If glob, it's redundant. *AA would suffice. ??AA would get you only 4 char strings, which is what you seem to be shooting for. Of course, in either glob case, your pattern will match AA, USAA, FAA, bObIsYoUrUnClEAA, etc. Try this one instead (regex): /^(RI|MP)AA$/.

    I'm sorry, we're you trying to be a geek?
