Janis Ian: The Internet Debacle

This article was posted in 2002, which was before the advent of iTunes and other online music stores. As a result, part of it is accurate or redundant, but the main point still stands, in my opinion.

This is a really good article about why the RIAA is full of crap when they say that they're "protecting artists" with their arguments and other tactics. It's very long, but I read the whole thing and I totally recommend it.

If a music industry executive claims I should agree with their agenda because it will make me more money, I put my hand on my wallet...and check it after they leave, just to make sure nothing's missing
