Small Webcasters Sue RIAA

Posted by michael on from the even-writing-to-speakeasy's-ceo-gets-no-results dept.

killthiskid writes "The Webcaster Alliance, a small group of 198 webcasters has sued the RIAA. CNET has the news, along with a growing number of other sites (google news). As many /.'ers know, in 2002 the Library of Congress decided on .07 cents per song (retroactive to '98). After that another bill was passed to protect smaller webcasters. Aparently, many webcasters are still not happy." Their complaint is online.

    Well too fucking bad. The RIAA owns the rights to the music. Stop playing RIAA music and you can then stop paying RIAA rates.

    Oh my fucking god, I'm like a genius or something!
