... the RIAA and ilk are so afraid of the Internet. Musicians aren't hurt, because their current structure doesn't reward them anyway, and it helps put butts in seats... which means the musicians aren't dependent on them for marketing to help them put the butts in the seats anymore. Combine that with the fact that good recordings can be made for spectacularly small sums nowadays...

Of course, it doesn't occur to the vampire whores to actually share the rewards with the workers who produce the goods they profit on... instead, they're trying to legalise it out of existence. After all, if they can do that, they can continue on their fat dumb and happy ways.
