RIAA wins Golden Shit award,
p2pnet.net news:- The Big 4 music cartel's RIAA has won the not-coveted Consumerist title, Worst Company In America 2007, reader poll.
"We predicted an RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America)landlslide, but they only managed a 53.8% majority over Halliburton's 46.2%," says the Consumerist, going on:
The message is clear. The internet cares deeply about being able to download music illegally.
Congrats to you, oh RIAA! Your lucky golden shit trophy will be arriving at your headquarters shortly.

But, "Wow," says winnabago in a comment post. "Talk about completely missing the point of the entire issue," going on:
Ok, if you said it in jest, I get it. But the root of 99% of the hatred for the RIAA is outside of illegal downloading. DRM, extortion of college students, refusing to share profits with artists, locking out download services like eMusic, trusted computing, killing services like slingbox, buying contracts for emerging artists and shelving their music to prevent competition, the "easy settlement webpage", and the mindless drivel that many of their labels churn out.
It's not about downloading, get that out of your head.
Meanwhile, by way of reminder, it's March, the Boycott the RIAA month. In other words, leave out EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany) and Warner Music (US).
Same for next month, and June, and, and ......
Slashdot Slashdot it!

It's funny. Laugh. Businesses
An anonymous reader writes "After 15 punishing rounds of combat involving 32 of America's most hated companies, 100,000 voters have spoken: More hated than Halliburton, more despised than Walmart, the RIAA has defeated all comers to become the Worst Company in America 2007."
