RIAA Exec Moves Over To Gaming Industry

Posted by timothy on from the shake-your-moneymaker dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The same RIAA executive who defended a $222,000 verdict over 24 song files at an academic conference back in March, Kenneth Doroshow, is leaving the RIAA and joining the Entertainment Software Association ('ESA'). As I said on my blog, if Mr. Doroshow 'accomplishes for game manufacturers what he accomplished for the recording industry, I would say the industry's prospects are bleak.'"

    Is the gaming industry ruled by a handful of monopolies like the music industry? maybe. Are gaming companies more connected with their consumer? maybe. Is game industry news more likely to slam miss-behavior. I think so.

    So we could see some gaming companies begin abandoning the ESA if they employ the same tactics.
