RIAA reverses its position when it is beneficial to them. Not like this is surprising or anything, but its just so blatant. The irony is getting pretty thick around here.

'Goldsmith thinks the industry's take-no-prisoners strategy may backfire. "They're pissing off the artists," he said. "If they piss off online radio too, what's to prevent a system that doesn't involve the recording industry at all? They're encouraging the development of an alternative relationship between producers and radio stations." '

why, yes, yes they are. which would be a fine thing, in my opinion.

Very fine, indeed! :-) There will be a whole group of people going on with creating and enjoying music as if 'the industry' itself didn't even exist. *gasp* Sounds good to me!
