The RIAA Begins to Come to Its Senses

The Wall Street Journal reported that the RIAA just dumped is mass-lawsuit-enabling girlfriend, MediaSentry. Remember the days when the RIAA filed 35,000 lawsuits against file traders? Well, the company we can all thank for providing data to the RIAA in its battle is now kicked to the curb.

Here's what I don't get. The RIAA is the record industry advocate. It's supposed to help the industry. How did it help? By suing its customers. That's got to be one of the stupidest business choices of all time. The Net Gen, as they're called, only become entrenched by digital opposition. If they're the 'golden market,' then why alienate them? I'll tell you why- the old guard. Better get someone under 40 to start making those types of decisions....next time.

Well, it seems we're now onto better days and new discoveries for the music industry.
