My favorite comment from the article was from the Hollywood/media exec lamenting that what IA was doing was 'theft'. Didn't Hollywood come about from people trying to outrun Edison and his patents? The hubris is astounding.

Time to lay RIAA to rest. A message needs to be sent: orgs that go after archival efforts like this get smote to death.
