RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007
An anonymous reader writes "After 15 punishing rounds of combat involving 32 of America's most hated companies, 100,000 voters have spoken: More hated than Halliburton, more despised than Walmart, the RIAA has defeated all comers to become the Worst Company in America 2007."
Cowboy Neal Corp? That's always an option...

I have nothing to say.
For a moment I thought RIAA actually won a lawsuit against Microsoft.

The RIAA will get a gift certificate for 100 song downloads at the iTunes store!
If Bush wants to kill the terrorists, he should jump off a cliff.
No, they're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. They take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting.

Kim Jong II, oye mama !
I wish RIAA would sue, win a default judgement against Kim and then to collect it, they proceed to Pyongyang, where they "suddenly" end up in Kim's version of Gitmo for enemy combatant.
Man, that is one court battle i wish to see.!

Artists: Help help, I'm being repressed.
Lawsuit victims: Ah, now you see the violence inherent in the system!
... that they get soon the Darwin Award, Company Edition.
I think that the RIAA, since it allowed 'artists' such as Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and n'Sync to be played on the radio, nay, to even getting a contract, is the far worse crime to humanity.
I don't like Linux. This doesn't make me a troll.
Their product also, when used as recommended, keeps me from killing people.
When my parents arrived at the uhaul rental place to pick up our large truck, they had none on the lot, and informed us that the nearest one was roughly 200km away, in the opposite direction from where I needed to go. They offered us a trailer that was 1/3rd the size as the best they could do.
"I made a reservation? Do you have my reservation?"
"Yes, we do. Unfortunately, we ran out of cars."
"But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservations."
"I know why we have the reservations,"
"I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation. You just don't know how to hold the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anyone can just take them."

Don't you know it is now both immoral and criminal to think beyond the next quarterly report?
The truly funny bit was that this article came up with an ad for Sony's Blu-ray Disc Player.

Everyone wants to be Ethelred. Even I want to be Ethelred.
"That's their business model: They make you believe you have a reservation, then you have to go around all the rental places trying to find one."
Jerry: I don't understand, I made a reservation, do you have my reservation?
Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation.
Agent: I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them.

The RIAA changed their mission statement to reflect their priority to stay the most hated company in America. I think it's a good strategy.
Strange women standing on the steps of the Supreme Court distributing BS is no basis for a system of artist compensation.
