Andrew Bridges @ Fenwick has gone to bat over this case when others largely ignored it. At Stanford he blasted the entertainment industry lawyers over this case and they just shrugged. The impact of the entertainment industry's actions and lobbying are perverse and have far-reaching implications for startups and our economy.
Hopefully this story doesn't end here and Bridges gets a pound of flesh from these people.

I have had a special love for music all my life.
But I sometimes wish I did not know what I now know about the Recording Industry in America and how they do "business".
I simply do not see music the same way.
These people are disgusting. They are a taint on something that should be pure. They are like drug pushers, and music is the drug.
Even if they paid my "salary" as an artist, I could not sleep well knowing what they do. I need to read that quote from Jagger again to remind myself musicians, despite supporting the RIAA, do recognise music is more than an "industry".
The RIAA's short-lived empire will someday fall. And music lovers in the future will look back and realise that, like those who loved music before there was an "industry", they are much better off than we were.

Well, this is that transparent and lovable government Mr. Obama promised us. Can all those bubble-heads that voted for "change" see it now? Can they?
