That's hot, so if you just download someone's mp3 from their website and
don't have a written agreement with them, cause maybe they don't have a
contact email or anything, then I could get sued into homelessness by
the RIAA, that's wicked! The next step is to start executing indie
producers/musicans who post their own original work on their homepages,
make it so that its illeagal to posses music that's not released by an
RIAA approved label!
Why tis does kill indie radio is that if you did make something at all
semi-popular, RIAA could use the court to shut you down just by pulling
you into court through a lawsuit, then you have to prove to them that
your radio station has signed agreements, and if you can't afford an
attorney you just get forced to pull your site down until you can save
up for one to get you through the legal system and get you agreements in
front of a judge. They probably have to be signed on paper as well, so
you have to start a new hobby as a manager of legal documents.
