The RIAA's argument seems to be this: we've lost control of protected works and since control is being regained by unauthorized users on tools you provide, we feel that you're responsible for correcting that situation OR compensating us for lost "gains".
I suspect it would be amusing if a number of under-represented RIAA-represented musicians were to file suit against the RIAA for the same thing. To whit, by allowing works to be released that have not been properly protected, the RIAA is directly responsible for loss of client profits and the labels are responsible for replacing any lost "gains" to the musicians in question. And if the RIAA chooses to pull the content completely, then they're responsible for projected losses just like the RIAA attorney's dun folks for lost sales via lawsuits.
Okay, I can dream...  |
