Could the RIAA Just Disappear?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the don't-hold-your-breath dept.

BlueMerle writes "Ars Technica is running a story about how EMI is disappointed with RIAA and ultimately they (RIAA) may disappear. 'Is the RIAA as we know it about to disappear? As rumors continue to swirl that EMI will pull its funding from music trade groups like the RIAA and IFPI, an IFPI spokesman tells Ars that the group is in the middle of a major internal review of its operations.'" I wouldn't bet the farm just yet.

  1. RIAA ? by Nossie · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The way things are going in the UK we wont need the equivalent of the RIAA to do the music industries dirty work... we'll have the government.

    So is this really that big a story? or are they just reallocating their resources?
