Methinks Ms Duckworth pretty much did her own credibility in with the diatribe she posted on the RIAA site.

http://www.riaa.com/blog.php?content_selector=Musings-On-Tenenbaum-Case (don’t go there unless you HAVE to…. let’s not encourage these people…..) If we make their web page too popular they’ll start selling google click throughs to make more money.

I mean after a self effacing piece of propoganda like that – who did she think would take her or the RIAA seriously?

according to Alexa internet users are far less interested in the RIAA since Ms Duckworth startted blogging.
Daily time on site for riaa.com: -12%
Daily pageviews per user for riaa.com: -7%

The hits are up – but people only stay for 1.9 minutes.

I guess most people know the appearance, smell and texture of crap.

The R.I.A.A. would win a lot more friends if it didnt try to comingle outright and obviously misleading propoganda with its victory celebrations.

“Also, artists still under contract with a major label are likely to be contractually obligated to keep their pieholes shut, or get sued by their uber-wealthy leash holders.”

I always love your posts Dreddsnik. Besides being truthful and straight to the point, you also have a way with words that I’m envious of.

” âSo umm why havenât the artists come to his aid?â

“What would you have them do? It seems they are NOT in control of the works, as it was the RIAA member record companies that sued.”

As has been mentioned before you are correct, most of them are not the copyright holders.
Most people are under the false impression that the copyright holder always = the artist.
This ‘mispercepction’ is deliberately reinforced by the mass media which is owned by the
same corporations that own the labels ( a pretty obvious conflict of interest ).

Also, artists still under contract with a major label are likely to be contractually obligated to keep their
pieholes shut, or get sued by their uber-wealthy leash holders.

You’ll notice that the few that DO speak up are usually old timers that have finally been released from their
contracts.

Those folks are oddities, since usually only death frees you from a label contract.
If it weren’t for the fact that Satan would be pissed at them they would find a way
to extend the contract to post mortem as well.

I read this twice. The title says “illegal twittering” I don’t see anywhere were someone who twittered got in deep trouble or was fine. All I see is that it was in response to someone being fined.

“Or is it inciting an online riot, which is not dangerous in the least?”

well infringment is way worse than murder and rape, so inciting online riots has got to be at least 10X worse than inciting actual riot.

Even though he didn’t make the tweet himself, isn’t it free speech? Or is it inciting an online riot, which is not dangerous in the least?

Joel must not speak.

I think the next logical move is to remove access online.

What would you have them do? It seems they are NOT in control of the works, as it was the RIAA member record companies that sued.
