Re: *Shakes Fist At RIAA* said by jdjbuffalo:The RIAA opened up Pandora's box when they suggested this crap. This isn't limited to communications. Years ago content industry convinced many governments to institute a recordable media tax as a way to generate revenue.
Newspapers are seeing print ad revenues shrinking and Internet revenue is not nearly as large. However it is my understanding the bulk of the problem has been media consolidation, encouraged by the Federal Government. New owners are demanding much higher rate of return then traditional "family owners" had. Thus exacerbating the problem.
