RIAA should face it. Technology has rendered what they do worthless.

Artists will be paid for live performances. The rest of the leeches in the music industry need to figure out how to suck someone else dry.

Professor Fisher seems to believe that the record industry (how's that for an anachronistic description?) needs to have a government-guaranteed existence, complete with a mandated stream of income, etc. I'm sure that the buggy-whip manufacturers thought the same thing of their cherished industry.

His formula has everything in common with the Soviet/East German model of central bureaus filled with apparatchiks and secret police and busybodies uber alles, and nothing in common with America's traditions of freedom. How or where do the universities find these neanderthals? (rhetorical question only - clearly the answer is that these petty tyrant wannabe's are home-grown - or, should I say, Ivory Tower-grown)
