Brian Biggs has an “article” up over on BBspot on the RIAA’s new mission statement and innovative communications strategies. Instead of fostering a supportive climate, Brian suggests the RIAA is codifying a different, less cuddly approach:
Our mission is to maximize hatred for the music industry by using creative legal and innovative technological methods which will further destroy our member’s creativity and financial vitality.
Among the association’s method for executing on its new mission:
- Suing a family in a refugee camp in Darfur, who doesn’t even know what a computer is, for sharing music illegally.
- Seizing iPods from troops in Iraq and searching them for illegal music. Filing suit against violators.
Full satire here. Enjoy.
