It's all in the interpretation. For instance - I view this article this way. The fans are not at fault The artists are not at fault RIAA is not at fault Retailers are not at fault The Internet is not at fault The companys are not at fault NOT ONE INDIVIDUAL IS AT FAULT! It is the whole process! The entire industry failed to act on exciting new technology (the internet and MP3's) and the fans who took advantage of this new technology are being sued and blamed for stealing! There is something seriously wrong with the system. That's just my two cents on the subject. This is a well written article that walks a fence very carefully. It’s all in the interpretation.

The fans are not at fault
The artists are not at fault
RIAA is not at fault
Retailers are not at fault
The Internet is not at fault
The companys are not at fault

NOT ONE INDIVIDUAL IS AT FAULT! It is the whole process! The entire industry failed to act on exciting new technology (the internet and MP3’s) and the fans who took advantage of this new technology are being sued and blamed for stealing! There is something seriously wrong with the system.

That’s just my two cents on the subject.

He's pointing out that the artists are a part of this too and are being hurt by both sides. He’s pointing out that this is not, as you seem to believe it to be, a war between the RIAA and the fans.

Do you support the fans? Do you support the RIAA? Or really Don, are you just supporting yourself? It’s just too bad Don can’t get his act together and figure out which side of the fence he is on.
