The RIAA Boycott Is On

The recording industry declares war against its customers, announcing plans for thousands of lawsuits, and its customers fight back, urging a boycott of all purchases of recorded music. Of course, we won't hear much (if anything) about this boycott through the taditional media, since it's owned by the same companies (which also explains much of the press coverage surrounding this issue). It's going to be a long, hot summer for the recording industry, I think. Can the internet sustain its first major battle head to head against traditional media? I'd say - yes. Expect sweeping changes and widespread accessibility to online music in the fall. Seriously.
