The explanation for capital punishment is "eye for an eye". There biblical references to justify that but that is outside my point.
The RIAA needs to be taken down. We need to find a way to take them down in other ways. How about the insane contracts the the artists signed? These contracts take away ownership of the material and make the artists indentured servants for the rest of their careers. The artist is lucky to make pennies on the dollar for their work. These contracts cannot be legal but nobody can afford to fight them individually. If we take out the RIAA and record company execs out of the equation, I bet we would see more artists embrace the MP3 and P2P. Besides, any musician worth paying a cent to is still producing music and/or touring.
As long as the corporations own our legislators, we do NOT have a democracy of the people for the people.
