  1. Comment - RIAA ignores direct order from LA judge

    (Dec 18, 2008 - 11:22 AM)

    above the law are they?

    This is the protection racket in operation! if sony's payola dealing wasn't bad enough!

    RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio
    http://slashdot.org/arti.../07/04/29/0335224.shtml

    "With the furor over the impending rate hike for Internet radio stations, wouldn't a good solution be for streaming internet stations to simply not play RIAA-affiliated labels' music and focus on independent artists? Sounds good, except that the RIAA's affiliate organization SoundExchange claims it has the right to collect royalties for any artist, no matter if they have signed with an RIAA label or not. 'SoundExchange (the RIAA) considers any digital performance of a song as falling under their compulsory license. If any artist records a song, SoundExchange has the right to collect royalties for its performance on Internet radio. Artists can offer to download their music for free, but they cannot offer their songs to Internet radio for free ... So how it works is that SoundExchange collects money through compulsory royalties from Webcasters and holds onto the money. If a label or artist wants their share of the money, they must become a member of SoundExchange and pay a fee to collect their royalties.'"

    More DRM'ed bull crap that we don't need. a great format spoiled by courporate greed.

    HDMI HDCP DRM, SPDC, BD+, AACS. Ability for phone home authorisation. Multi Region Hack Blocked, to enable global media price fixing.

    why would anyone jump through all them hoops cheers Sony, thanks for your DRM-Ray player, thanks for your RootKit and SecuROM.

  3. Comment - Rage over 'Spore' DRM turns into class action suit

    Funny how it's Sony's DRM malware yet again (SecuROM) involved in an anti-consumer law suit!

    This DRM has nothing to do with stopping piracy and everything to do with destroying the second hand game market.#
