RIAA vs The Economy

thumbtack writes "Boycott-RIAA.com is running an analysis of the RIAA sales vs a number of other large corporations. It was compiled by Justin Moore at Duke University. It is really quite interesting, showing the the RIAA sales are pretty much consistent with the rest of the economy. From the analysis: I would assert, however that it does make the case in cold, hard numbers that the RIAA's claim of digital piracy ravaging their sales must be taken with a rather large grain of salt. The CEOs of Eastman-Kodak are in a nearly identical economic situation as the RIAA, yet do not have the luxury of blaming digital piracy."

Re:They just blame Digital Photography.

Well, Kodak screwed the pooch with the new DCS-14n. They just posted a super-indepth review of it over at Digital Photo Review and it performed pretty miserably compared to the Canon 1Ds. Personally, I'm quite happy with my Canon 10D :)
