Two New York lawyers detail here the sleazy legal tactics of the Recording Industry Association of America. The lawyers call the tactics a reign of terror against young people and have set up their blog as a clearing house of information and evidence about the RIAA’s “oppressive lawsuits.” I like the lawyers’ designations, but I would also say that the RIAA, in the spirit of monopoly power and privilege, is practicing marketing by lawsuit, rather than marketing by, well, marketing, that is, making high quality products widely available at low prices.
