no comments? seems like a pretty important problem that needs to be fought...though not sure how.
I forgot to add that the Rolling Stones article mentioned that the RIAA is one of the worst at lobbying to get things attached to bills that have nothing to do with what they are attaching them to. They are constantly trying to slide right over the normal process required to get a bill passed and slip one under on us.
Much of the article was talking about the various ways artists get screwed by the record labels. One thing the RIAA did get away with initially by attaching to an unrelated bill, was extending the time the record labels could hold the copyright to the artist's original works.
They apparently don't cary articles online, just reviews and the like.
