What the RIAA wants is to make the internet a transmission medium and not an exchange medium. That's all they've ever wanted (except at first, when the figured they already had a perfectly good transmission medium and wished the internet would go away).
They'll work as hard as they can for as long as they can (or exist) to make this true. Nothing else done in service to this goal should come as surprise anymore.

- Natsu 15y agoThis is hard, because I think that there are few sound recordings that are out of copyright and the way things have been going, I don't expect that to change any time soon. That said, I wonder what one could manage if they could dig up a bunch of old public domain scores and start turning them into MIDIs or something. Actually, I thought I heard about some guy who was doing that, but with an actual orchestra. I wonder how that's going?
