The RIAA has long shown that it is not concerned about musicians, studio owners, engineers, or anyone but themselves and the giant labels that support them. > At the end of the day, I don't think anyone should consider the RIAA > and the big 4 labels to be representative of the artists. I haven't considered them representing anyone other than themselves and the biggest labels. End of day, beginning of day, last year, etc. I'm biased, about seven years ago the RIAA crushed my Internet music startup, which was acceptable years later when Apple released the idea as ITunes and the iStore. Mine was better, of course :-( -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
