The best summation yet of the current case against the Copyright Cabal, provided by one of their own -- Artist House Records President John Snyder, and his son Ben. I'm adding this piece to my Citizen's Copyright Information Kit, a collection of the articulate, impassioned, and well reasoned arguments being made against the usurious and demeaning tactics of the RIAA and MPAA. I plan to eventually create hard-copy output of all the pieces (thereby creating something even a politician can read), organize them into a proper presentation folder, and hand deliver them to the local office of each of my representatives.

Snyder quotes lots of third-party statistics, summarizes many of the earlier pieces such as Tim O'Reilly's essay on piracy, the EFF article on unintended consequences, and the Janis Ian interview. He also cites, quotes, and links to numerous other resources. Powerful stuff.

"Embrace file-sharing, or die". This from Artist House Records' President, John Snyder, and his son Ben, in response to the National Association of Recording Artists [algorhythm]
