Re: Hollow Victory It isn't just the RIAA. The members of the MPAA do this as well, and Disney (one of the Big Six movie studios) is perhaps the most egregious violator of others' intellectual property rights.
Case in point: The original creator of the Lion Sleeps Tonight, which in its native tongue was called Mbube (Lion), was a South African Zulu named Solomon Linda. Disney used that song in the Lion King without giving Linda's heirs any royalties for it. So they sued the studio for $1.5 million: »www.time.com/time/magazine/artic···,00.html
If that isn't copyright infringement by one of the **AA members, I don't know what is. Or how about Edgar Bronfman,
the CEO of Sony/BMG telling his own children it really isn't all that big a deal if they download songs from the Internet over filesharing networks.
When it comes to copyright infringement, there is clearly a double standard which makes the **AAs look like hypocrites.
