Once again this shows how behind the recording industry is with modern and (not so Modern, mixtapes) brand of marketing. What is also very funny about all of this is that with all of these usless RIAA arrests and lawsuits against napster and other websites the industry is STILL in the cellar. As a matter of fact 2006 was the worse year for cd sales since they've starting registering sales. The number 1 CD of the year only sold 3.5 million. WHAT's their excuse now? They've cracked down on illegal downloading; They've made their arrest; Done their scare tatics and sales are worse than ever.

Tell me something we don't know. I hope DJ Drama goes to trial on this because he'll make chimps out of the RIAA. That's one thing about liking techno -- you don't have to hold your nose and buy major label releases, because there are none.
