    I don't exactly get it...musicians outside of the RIAA are more Earthlike or something? :P
    Yes, it's encouraging that indies these days can accomplish as much as they do, even if I still find some RIAA stuff to like as well.
    Indeed, advancing (audio and distribution) technology is intertwined with what progress there is.

    I listen to both RIAA and non-RIAA stuff if I like the music, tangential business/politics nonwithstanding.
