Dunno if everybody's been tracking what's going on with the ever-nasty RIAA and bullying from large labels lately. Here's some important reads anyway:

RIAA's new pseudo-scam scheme
How the RIAA views its customers

Copyright Royalty Board Announces Internet radio royalty rates
New Royalty Rates to Bankrupt Internet Radio Webcasters
Save Internet Radio

Lots to read, I know, but it's important stuff for us indies. Scary times, indeed. Isn't corporatism just awesome?

Just pure evil with a dash of greed sauce, that's what they are the lot.
