Dependable Erection

The RIAA. I suppose they'll consider driving recorded music sales all the way down to zero a success.

I'm shocked that the recording industry is doing so poorly, given the respect with which they treat their customers:

"When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song," said [the RIAA's lead counsel, Jennifer] Pariser.

[Steve] Jobs, in February, noted that less than 3 percent of the music on the average iPod was bought from iTunes, leading music executives to speculate that the devices in many instances are used to store pirated songs. (Of course, users can also fill their players with songs copied from their own CD collections [ -- which are, nonetheless, pirated, according to the RIAA].) (link)
