RIAA says what? UPDATE#2

In his war on RIAA, Mike (Shmoo) from boycot-riaa.com posted a great interview from Don Reisinger with a spokesman of the RIAA; Cara Duckworth.

There are some points in the interview that makes me LaughingOutLoud - LOL painted on the wall. Big time. Listen to this


But let it be said--the RIAA is much more than lawsuits. For example, we also are responsible for the Gold &Platinum program awarding artists who have achieved successful album sales and are active proponents of free speech in music.
A nice quote from C. Duckworth. Allow me

1. Nobody needs you to do the album awarding. That's what we have Nielsen for who are very well capable and extremely precise in monitorising this stuff
2. Freedom of speech is something arranged by law (in some countries) and where it's not political persons are trying to set this straight. Get real.

One more and I'm getting pretty heat-headed already:
In their (the RIAA's) efforts implementing copyright acts they forget the foremost and far more important ISSUE on the place.

THESE TIMES CALL FOR A NEW COPYRIGHT ACT, A GUIDELINE REFERRING TO THE NEW AGE OF MUSIC DISTRIBUTION AND USAGE. Why don't you pump a bit of that lawsuite money in research? Why?

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

There are a whole bunch of people out there calling for a 21st century chance, and you keep sticking to the 20th century paper.
