Thank you. RIAA is plainly ridiculous. If you try to read one of their articles, you will end up saying "What the hell is wrong with these people".

RIAA and other big American corporations mouth fealty to capitalist, market ideas and buyers having choices, but in fact, they work assiduously to capture and monopolize music and markets. They pass laws to disempower citizens and voters. They actually sit in committee rooms with lobbyists and write the laws affecting their own businesses and customers. One example, is the coda passed by U.S. legislators preventing U.S. government from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies on prices for that recent, massive medical drugs program. Imagine you went shopping for a big ticket car or home and could not negotiate with the sellers. It is preposterous, quite nervy, but that is the law as they got it passed. A lot of these rich Americans get rich doing business with the U.S. Government. Yet, any "transfer payment" to low wage Americans is tagged as complete socialism. Essentially, they keep changing the rules of the game and moving the goal posts, but always to their own benefit and advantage. That is how American politics work. Also, you don't count, not really, as an individual. Only your bank account and your spending habits count for anything. That is why Religion, any religion, is banned from the "public square." Religion empowers people. Americans are like Sampson with his hair shorn by these Corporate Delilahs - Old Testament Bible Story.
