Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets

Posted by michael on Friday January 23, 2004 @08:34AM 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.'"

Excellent post! That's the part of this that Slashdot readers don't want to acknowledge.
Pepsi and Apple aren't "sticking it to the RIAA"; far from it! Pepsi and Apple are buying help from the RIAA to sell more cola and iPods.
If you think this is about anything else, you're fooling yourself.
