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.

    I'm always leery of my dentist, because he provides me with lots of advice on how to make my dental hygiene better. This, in turn, results in less visits from me, and ultimately less money for him. Thankfully, EMI is the "dentist" of the recording industry. The world needs more dentists.

    *POOF*

    They're gone...

    In twenty years, the RIAA is going to be a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and the RIAA is going to come and serve you with a lawsuit!"
