Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets

Posted by michael on from the not-anti-establishment dept.

eefsee writes "USA Today is running a story about Pepsi's Superbowl ad for their iTunes promotion. The ad will apparently feature teens sued by the RIAA, including one young woman who holds out a Pepsi and says, 'We are still going to download music for free off the Internet.' The RIAA response? 'This ad shows how everything has changed.'"

    I hear constantly how the RIAA's "business model is failing." I never hear about the people themselves who are doing the illegal downloading.

    So, if the RIAA were somehow destroyed tomorrow and artists didn't sign the contracts anymore that paid the people advertising their music everywhere, you all would suddenly stop downloading their music for free off Kazaa? Just curious.

    Atlanta is a festering den of former slaveholders. I say we burn it again.
