found drama

BigChampagne. Here comes the self-conscious, defensive, and more-than-slightly dodgy press releases from the RIAA-member states … er … labels. Who the hell else is really going to be flexing dollars on this service? (Thanks Wired!) Always interesting how these things come together: “The record industry’s lawsuits against file-sharing companies hang on their assertion that the programs have no use other than to help infringe copyrights. If the labels acknowledge a legitimate use … it would undercut their case as well as their zero-tolerance stance.”
