I think Zhann has unwittingly opened a can of worms here. We understand that her contention is that the court is not allowing the RIAA to serve subpoenas to help them track down music file swappers and her concern is that this would translate over to us as graphic artists and our work as it relates to copyright infringement. And for that she should be appreciated and commended. So thanks Zhann for looking out! What we are seeing here is a backlash at the RIAA. The difference here is that the RIAA represents big business whose only interest in this whole matter is to line their pockets further with little concern for the recording artist themselves. They are maneuvering to get the legal upper hand because after bleeding consumers dry for years, the worm has now turned. Theyre still selling music and still lining their pockets but their not getting what their greed is dictating they should be making.
