Interesting vicious circle they have going. The more they crack down on consumers, the less they buy. Then they cite their declining sales to theft and crackdown harder. Which drops sales even more.

I always maintained that in copyright law, the RIAA was winning the battle to lose the war.

It seems to me that this is a close parallel to the death spiral that starts with, "Sales|memberships|subscriptions are down, so we have to economize by dropping features|services|sections." Then as more customers leave and the revenue stream shrinks farther, more of the bits the remaining customers are there for get cut and more of them leave.

Same thinking applied to a different aspect of the business?

The RIAA have admitted in public that they think CDs should cost more. Well played,
idiots.
