The RIAA is pretty much responsible for destroying music as an art form. I used to purchase the largest amount of music (i.e. CD’s) of anyone I knew. I is there fault specifically for not creating a viable digital music avenue that has killed my love of music. I mean, I still love music but the lack of good music and that plundering of talent at the cost of money has destroyed something that I used to hold very dear. So then, it will come as no surpise that the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America, which behaves too much like a drug cartel) appears to have one the award for THE WORST COMPANY IN AMERICA 2007.
