This hasn't been a good year for music lovers since the RIAA has removed the kid gloves. In the past 3 months they have [0]declared war on their own customers, [1]silenced Internet Radio, and are [2]targeting 3 other P2P networks for shutdown. At about this time last year, they wanted [3]unprecedented access to your personal property, but fortunately [4]saner heads prevailed here. [5]It has been 4 years since Slashdot posted it's first story containing the phrase "RIAA", and in that time the RIAA has waged war on the Internet rather than try and use the technology for the benefit of their artists. Now there are people willing to play by the rules, but the RIAA is unresponsive, and their web site seems to provide more questions than clear answers. Who do you need to contact? What forms need to be filled? What agreements need to be signed? By whom? What do you have to pay? How is this value determined? If you are planning on offering the RIAA's music, what do you really have to do to play their music legally?
