” So the artist gets the doubious values of credit for the actions of the RIAA. ”

Take that a step further.
The RIAA take all the bad press and the heat, but never forget …..
They are merely the front for the Major Record Labels.
Sony, Warner etc …

The LABELS are pulling the strings, and paying noone but themselves and
the RIAA ( nothing but a Lawyers club ).

Don’t share, don’t buy.
If you MUST have it, buy used.

Do not settle! Nobody settle! They are liers they can not do much against you! just go to court and deny any wrong doing. Tha’t all. No presumed “dowloader” never lost a case against the RIAA Why? because they have no proff of anything. AN IP adddress is nor you. and in a matter of fact it is not even a computer because of the dynamic address assigement system. They just hit blindly the babies, the computer illiterates, the grand-pa, the grand-ma, the deads! And of couse maitain a strict boycott. NO CD no dowload and if you can no movie, no theater ticket. Nothing. It will take a couple more year for these parasites to starve to death.

Quote: Few artists so far have seen a cent from the RIAAâs pre-litigation settlements.
——————————–

Actually no artist will recieve any money from settlements. If you will do a search of back history here at p2pnet, you will find earlier articles of when sue’em all started. In them it will plainly state that no money goes to the artist from these lawsuits.

This is strickly a money making venture by and for the corporation. The initial money was to be rolled over into a warchest to continue the lawsuits. All is being done in the name of the artist but no money will go to them. So the artist gets the doubious values of credit for the actions of the RIAA. Funny how it is that the labels don’t want direct credit for the marching orders they give their legal beagle go getters, isn’t it?

” But so far, the RIAA has not made a real investment in researching how to get music to customers in a way that pleases everyone. ”

It’s actually very easy to do this, and make a LOT of money.
A PROVEN system already exists.

It’s inexpensive, easy to use, gives the customer a LOT of choice and
control over quality and format .. Aaaaannd it has a system in place to pay license
fees to the collectives.

It’s the system AllOfMp3 uses.

It works .. people pay.
People pay because the price is right and it’s easy for them.
People pay willingly aaaand no DRM.

So why .. since AllOfMp3 pays all of the legal licensing fees to the Russian equivalent of
SoundExchange are the labels so heel bent on shutting it down ?

If the Labels set up their own version .. AllOfMp3 will be a solidly established competition.
That’s why.
In addition, if the labels use a system that too closely resembles the AllOfMp3 system, they
may have to pay a fee to use the same system.

There is a model system in place.
They just won’t acknowledge it.

Further proof that it is control they are really after.
