The best long-term bet for artists is to Just Say No to the RIAA and all member labels. However, as anyone who can read the MP3.com BB can tell, there appears to be a massive troll army of label people and wannabes (wanting to ingratiate themselves to label trolls) on the attack. Just like MS trolls on clja, these sleazers try to drive artists away from the open music model and into the waiting arms of the weasels. Open source, open music, open standards... they're all about the same thing, when you get right down to it. Oh well, maybe this latest bit of outrage will open some eyes and hasten to demise of the Big 5. Long live Open Music on the Net! RS
