It happens once a week, time to round it up! It seems the RIAA, the MPAA, the CRIAA, the IFPI, the NEW bully on the block, the USCG-- do NOT take the summer off. Neither do we! (2 comments)

Record Business Blues By Steven Seidenberg--Recession or no, the music industry has been hitting a high note lately. Reports indicate that, on average, revenues are on the rise for musical artists. Income from concerts and ancillary merchandise (such as souvenir T-shirts) has become a key revenue source for most performers. New vehicles for delivering music in innovative and exciting ways are being introduced regularly. And consumers are getting more music at lower prices.

The explosion of social networking these past couple of years has killed the traffic we once obtained (and, upon a time innovated) here at Boycott-RIAA. We chanted and prayed for the death of the dinosaur with their old business model (and found that we, ourselves fell victim to the changing world's paradigm shift.) Should we just give up?

When using open source makes you an enemy of the state.
The US copyright lobby has long argued against open source software - now Indonesia's in the firing line for encouraging the idea in government departments

On Friday, Michael Davis, chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, made what some legal experts say is an unprecedented move involving statutory damages in a copyright case, when he reduced the jury-awarded amount by 97 percent. Davis called the $1.9 million amount "monstrous and shocking," changing the damages to $54,000, which he said was still "significant and harsh."

"The FCC should not only avoid rules prohibiting ISPs from blocking illegal file trading, but it should actively encourage ISPs to do so, " the RIAA said. (3 comments)

Duh, ya think?????
~~~~Did the United States' major record labels, as early as 2001, conspire to establish a system for the distribution and sale of digital music that would have seen subscribers paying up to $240 per year for the right to download up to two songs per artist per month, even then at a retail price indexed at the wholesale cost of $0.70 per song, with restrictive and unwanted DRM schemes attached?~~~~ (5 comments)
