I wonder what the RIAA would do if they found out that you could copy a CD and use a car to transport it.

I figure eventually the RIAA will find out, and try to battle the USPO. It should be an entertaining fight.

Basically the settlement should read: AudioGalaxy settles with RIAA, buys protection, and avoids cement boots, and Guido.

As an independent artist, you're obviously illegitimate and not worthy of any exposure at all. Undoubtedly the only way around this little dilemma is to assign your copyrights to an RIAA affiliate for every means of distribution that they control.

I suspect it's going to be a bit of a pain in the ass to convince Audiogalaxy to allow me to share my band's music over their service. How can I satisfy them that I'm truly the copyright holder? If it's easy enough to make it painless, what's to keep others from attempting to get their favourite artist's music unprotected using the same technique?
No problem, just get published by a major label that's a member of the RIAA and your music can be shared too.
