  1. RIAA != company by strangel · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Since when is the "Recording Industry Association of America" a company?
    Last time I checked, it was a trade group, and the record companies themselves are members of this group.

    ... does this mean anything? So I have a couple of questions:

    1. Who is "consumerist" anyway? I can't find much information to that question on their web site, I saw only 3 names. So maybe they are a bunch of activist geeks, but that by no means represents the general populace. What could the result mean? Nothing much to the general public, I guess...

    2. What's the method to get to that conclusion? Is it representative? How did they draw their sample? I don't think so, I can't even find any info on how the poll is made. If people really hate those bastards, how come they keep on sending their hard-earned money to those fuckheads?

    3. Since when RIAA is a company? This already puts a question mark on their method.

    Quite the victory for navel-gazing morons of the web. A recording industry lobbying group worse then a bunch of war profiteers? Are people really that selfish and stupid nowadays? Gaah! *head explodes*
