Racketeering

The RIAA and MPAA leadership should be sent to prison for racketeering.

No worries. The **AAs will get exactly what's coming to them: ::OBSOLESCENT IRRELEVANCY:: and it will be self-imposed simply because they refuse to adapt and instead seek to cling to an outdated distribution model enforced by their purchased politicos.

Never had a chance to advise the RIAA/MPAA but small film and music companys and told them to embrace the new technology, forget DRM, and even use file sharing to promote their product. I actually like 5-7 minute movie trailers. I also like providing 1 minute of a song for free the same way. In other words, let ordinary people be your PR since they do it for free. It does increase sales about 1000% on average. Also, bump music to 326kbps and charge $1.99 a song.

Example:

CD - $16 x 100,000 sales = $1,600,000
MP3 - $2 x 1 million sales = $2.000,000
(Britney Spears new music is making that much)

Small singer:

CD - $9.99 x 10,000 sales = $99,000 (if lucky)
MP3 - $.99 x 50,000 sales = $49,500

MySpace has made indie bands and singers nice incomes.

Take out the cost of the CD and distribution and you make about the same money from ONE SONG. The rest is gravy since bandwith is cheap if you use others to sell it.

Liz Phair made a decent $250,000 a year living as a small singer. She made $2 million on her mainstream Liz Phair (same title) CD.
