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.

    Look, I'm no fan of RIAA, but RIAA serves a very important purpose for the recording industry et al, and this is just a bluff/power move by EMI. EMI is getting pissy because RIAA went against them in the Kingston/Dracon case (refusing to follow EMI's wishes). Now EMI is threatening to pull the plug on RIAA.

    EMI is acting like a miffed 6 year old. They'll come around.

    Always bet on black? No, bet on RIAA.
