Richard Marx (!) attacks RIAA after $1.92M Thomas verdict
Found on Ars Technica on Wednesday, 24 June 2009
Marx issued a strong statement against the "greedy actions of the major labels" after hearing about the $1.92 million Jammie Thomas-Rasset verdict.
In the wake of the RIAA win, the organization's legendarily poor public image somehow got even worse. Chicago Sun-Times music critic Jim DeRogatis called the Thomas-Rasset ruling "infamous as one of the most wrong-headed in the history of the American judicial system - not to mention that it will forever stand as the best evidence of the contempt of the old-school music industry toward the music lovers who once were its customers."
Industry, enjoy your legal victory.
