i noticed this thing on /. the other day, and there’s a little news item on wall of sound as well. it’s about the work-for-hire amendment that the riaa slipped into a video satellite redistribution bill of all things. passed the house, and looks like it’ll probably pass in the senate as well. gonna keep happening as long as artists continue to work for those bloodsuckers. maybe this bill will finally convince artists that there are better alternatives? i doubt we’re going to see a mass exodus of established artists to mp3.com or anything like that.
and of course, you got your superbands like metallica, who are shills for the riaa anyway…
