Basically, the record labels are using a protection racket system: give us some equity, or we'll shut you down.
I believe that is illegal. we should sue them.
If the mafia was doing this, it would be considered racketeering-and be prosecuted under the RICO statues.

But, since the RIAA is doing it, it's okay-after all they regularly BRIBE Congress and law enforcement.
