NARAS vs. the RIAA

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-think-about dept.

sdbrian writes "An all around excellent paper concerning the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) and their position with regard to the RIAA has been published on Salon.com. The author (John Snyder) quotes from many articles that have been discussed on here on Slashdot. One of Snyder's conclusions, "NARAS should take the lead in this matter. Those who are taking it now are leading us over a cliff. The RIAA has staked out an untenable position that is as unrealistic as it is anti-consumer and anti-artist.""

    But I couldn't help but be a little put off by Prince's disrespect 4 the English languange as a means of xpression. I think I know why he hasn't released an album lately. He's been too busy hanging out in chat rooms.
