| RIAA and MPAA Seems to me that both these organizations have gone very high tech in the lengths they have gone to thwart piracy.
To say they are Anti-Tech is just silly! They set up fake web sites to push malware software written to track users, falsely seeded torrents, etc. So yes, they are very tech oriented... when it suits them.
Now, to say the recording and movie industry is anti tech.. there you may have something.

The RIAA and MPAA are tring to protect their profits, NOT THE MUSICIANS.
With the record labes and RIAA etc getting 80% of the profit and the artists makeing maybe a dollar per CD, who is at risk of loosing?
After all I have several friends that had fliped the finger at the music industry. Put up their own sites, selling music direct to the public. They make at least 10 times selling their music direct.
Then people say but how are they found? Well if you also don't know, the music industry for years has been telling us what is cool and what is hip. Look at the FM radio dial. 20 stations in a town and 3 formats. Same crap over and over. There is a lot more to music than rock and country, but most of it isn't anywhere to be heard. Or out of print music? How do you hear it or buy it?
The RIAA and the Record Companies turned the music industry to crap long before even cassette tapes were invented. Do some research and many of the black entertainers were never paid a dime with their relatives still suing for profits from 40 years ago.
The best thing to do is just stop buying music from RIAA labels. They feel the money sue me sue you game, well consumers can play don't buy their music game.
But please don't boycott independent musicians, as supporting them and boycotting RIAA will do more to straighten the injustice that has nothing to do with MP3.
