Suing the RIAA I take some pleasure in reading articles where the RIAA gets it. Or will be getting it. Or, OK, maybe just someone fighting back. Hmm ... actually, this is the first article I've read. Usually, the RIAA just sticks it to whoever they want because of the deep pockets that allow them to carry big sticks. (Don't dwell on the image.) Apparently some internet radio broadcasters aren't going to take it (don't dwell on the image!). They've banded together to challenge the royalty rates that the RIAA negotiated with a group representing 'small webcasters.' The rates the RIAA negotiated (or rather, extracted) is too high for some hobbyist webcasters, and paying it would put them out of business. I hope these guys are successful with the suit.
