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.'"

  1. Why buy/listen to it at all? by goldspider · · Score: 1, Troll
    If you really want to put your money where your mouth is ("Screw the RIAA!") you shouldn't buy or listen to any of the crap they produce.

    But of course, that would involve sticking to principles, and that's hard!

  3. 950 songs? Bah! by JawFunk · · Score: 0, Troll
    The actor and her little brother downloaded 950 songs overthree years!!! OMG!! (stark sarcasm). There are 14 year olds as well as 45 year olds sitting with terabytes of songs.

    On another note, anyone notice the undisclosed retainer fee for the commercial, a small portion of which will go to paying off her $3000 settlement. WAY TO TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM BITCH!
