What follows affects us all, whether you're a musician or a music lover. Proposals from the RIAA and DiMA will have a devastating effect on the quality and amount of music created in the future as well as allow it's suporters, the record companies, to steal more of artist royalties. Royalties which are currently only 9 cents a song, the RIAA wants to cut to 6 cents for more record label profitability. Think about this the next time you pay $17.99 or more for an album of bland music. AOL, Yahoo and Real Audio Networks are involved also to the extent they support the RIAA and DiMA efforts.
