In my eyes, it seems like the RIAA is only doing this because they lacked the intiative and intelligence to actually capitolise on this whole downloading-music boom. Whereas, you have things like iTunes and similar organisations/programs, which saw the oppurtunity and potential here and made the most of it. The RIAA is just doing this out of spite, and so they can get money to make up for their failure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do know that most of the money iTunes makes will go to RIAA (and in return go to the labels and artists) since Apple works on a commission model. There is no way you can say that iTunes made the best use out of mp3's sales. I don't know a single person that uses iTunes yet I know most (if not all) download mp3's, I think the prices offered on iTunes is still way too expensive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I paid $10 (AUD) to get a good quality (no scratches and marks on CD and booklet) second hand CD and shipped from the other side of the world; When I would have paid about twice that to get a digital copy of the album (which has no booklet and is lower in audio quality).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I done a quick google search and even the big anti RIAA site agree (even though I don't agree with how they present their propaganda):
