When did the Recording Industry Association of America become empowered as a police force? Did I miss a memo?
The Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) has launched a new campaign against DJs in an attempt to control copyright infringement.
They have already confiscated $100,000’s worth of mix CDs from independent record stores across the US.
I have a vision in my head of a sudden raid on a record store, with jack-booted guys in long black dusters, sweeping in and showing their RIAA business cards.
I hope that other trade associations don’t get the same idea. Imagine, soon we could all have visits from the Color Marketing Group busting into our homes, demanding that we replace that beige couch with a teal and gray model more consistent with the 2004 color forecast.
