Despite costly efforts to build buzz around new talent and thwart piracy, CD sales have plunged more than 20 percent this year, far outweighing any gains made by digital sales at iTunes and similar services.

The RIAA's effort to wipe out independent online radio has nothing to do with protecting artists, and everything to do with protecting a status quo that supports a very few top 40 acts at the expense of everyone else. In their effort to protect their outdated business model, they are happy to prevent their artists from reaching potential customers.

The RIAA's legal strategy in its war against file sharing has been nothing if not consistent. Recent events show that the music industry's consistent refusal to exonerate defendants may end up working against it.

The US Copyright Office has released their new set of rates for the payment of royalties by Internet Radio, and they ignored all of the facts presented by webcasters and gave the record industry exactly what they asked for: royalty rates so high that they will put and every independent webcaster out of business.

The RIAA should love the free publicity from this, right? Wrong. This is the RIAA we're talking about, after all. The past few days has seen a sudden influx of blogs getting shut down after the RIAA harasses their hosting providers.

The RIAA Radar is a site that helps consumers distinguish between "safe" and "unsafe" album releases. If you're not happy with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) or their associates suing little children and unsuspecting parents, this is the site for you.

In a nutshell: DRM's sole purpose is to maximize revenues by minimizing your rights and selling them back to you.

This website allows you to use Google as a proxy. It is good to visit blocked sites. There is also a search function that finds just about any MP3 that you type in. I wonder how long it will be before the RIAA will sends this guy a notice.

In the last few months, trade groups representing music publishers have used the threat of copyright lawsuits to shut down guitar tablature sites, where users exchange tips on how to play songs like “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “Highway to Hell” and thousands of others.

RIAA: "We had decided to temporarily suspend the productive settlement discussions we were having with the family. Mr. Scantleberry had admitted that the infringer was his stepson, and we were in the process settling with him shortly before his passing. Out of an abundance of sensitivity, we have elected to drop this particular case."

RIAA member companies have pulled a great list of legal stunts. This trumps them all in my opinion. To put it in plain and simple English, what Sony BMG have asked is that the court trump the 1st amendment rights of the defendant and the defendant's council in order to save them from public scrutiny of their own words during deposition.

The RIAA, in a more fervent effort to curb file sharing, has started sending viruses to users who unknowingly download from their honeypots. To make them think they feel safe, the viruses stay inactive for 24 hours after being downloaded. What's next?!?
