Hopefully. Because at any level of abstraction below 'high orbit', the comparison completely fails. The most important and glaring difference that your abstraction completely ignores, is that the RIAA's audience is governments and their goal is to see laws enacted that will have wide ranging impact on music and computing. Designers' audience is would-be customers and other designers. Their goal is educating customers on the difference between a $100 logo and an identity package that costs orders of magnitude more, and educating other designers on the impact of trying to compete with the $100 logo on price. Designers have no cartel. They have no legal/lobbying arm. They've never controlled distribution or access. They've never been multiply convicted of illegal vertical integration and horizontal collusion. They aren't trying to see your rights legislated away to protect the comfortable industry monopoly they have never had.
