RIAA/Broadcasters Lobby Capitol Hill to Make Radios Mandatory in Mobile Devices.
Uh, what? I guess the RIAA still thinks it’s 1985 and just like LL Cool J, we can’t live without our radio. That or it’s the latest in many misguided attempts to keep profits up. As the Consumer Electronics Association said “Rather than adapt to the digital marketplace, NAB and RIAA act like buggy-whip industries that refuse to innovate and seek to impose penalties on those that do.” However, the RIAA maintains that this move is one to give consumers more choice. Pfft, the only reason they want this is to prevent piracy. But that won’t work because nobody listens to the radio anymore because they all play the same music, save for some public and college radio stations that are awesome.
