But I thought that file sharing was killing music? That’s what the RIAA has been saying for the past few years, since Napster came on the scene in the late 1990s. The RIAA has been suing its own customers — good move! — and our very own BPI is now following their lead.
Give it up, guys. You’re starting to look desperate.
