Moby Says 'Disband The RIAA'
Found on Techdirt on Sunday, 21 June 2009
As a whole bunch of you have sent in, the musician Moby has put up a blog post where he suggests the RIAA should be disbanded for its $1.92 million win over Jammie Thomas.
"maybe the record companies have adopted the 'it's better to be feared than respected' approach to dealing with music fans. i don't know, but 'it's better to be feared than respected' doesn't seem like such a sustainable business model when it comes to consumer choice."
More and more musicians realize that what the RIAA does is not for their benefit and only harms them. All these lawsuits never were meant to help musicians, but only for keeping the broken system behind the industry alive. Now that their "clients" start leaving, their points get weaker and weaker.
