RIAA Forgets to Make Royalty Payments

theodp writes "NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer agreed with the RIAA on one point - artists WERE being deprived of money that was rightfully theirs. But Spitzer managed to find $50 million for performers without shaking down grandmothers. Spitzer's culprits? A Who's Who of the nation's top recording companies - members of the RIAA - who failed to maintain contact with artists and stopped making required royalty payments."

Is unrestricted unregulated file-sharing just ok?

I've read it over a few times, and I'm still not seeing where he says that.

I didn't say that he said this, but we may as well jump to the core issue, right? So, I'll ask you again: is unrestricted unregulated file-sharing just ok?

Again, I invite you to quote a false claim he is making.

And I invite you to quote me claiming that he was making a false claim.

"let me state again that in this thread we're discussing the RIAA stiffing the artists it claims to represent"

I'm sure we're all grateful for your efforts to police what we discuss.
