let me get in character...

Hold on....

Okay, I'm ready.

"I am shocked and appalled at this travesty! I assumed the RIAA and the music industry were being completely forthcoming and honest about their sincere desire to compensate the hard work of the artists whom they claim to represent. This deals an unexpected blow to my faith in large corporations to altruistically use their strength in capital and lobbying for the benefit of the common man."

So, how did I do?

AST adds: Don't phone us...

Like, totally...

...is there actually a conscious being somewhere who was under the impression that the RIAA has the best interests of recording artists in mind?

To quote one of my famous Inq headline quotes, quoted from Einstein, "Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not so sure about the first one."

I Wonder.......

Just how much interest will accumulate on 400 mil before the RIAA decides how much each artist gets from "the original settlement". Same ploy the IRS uses here in the states prior to "refunding" all those souls their hard earned money.

Sigh!!!!!
