A real response from the RIAA

Reshared post from +Internet Freedom Movement

A real response from the RIAA
"He at least went back and read all 281 comments to his post, including the angry ("It is difficult for me to imagine any single person in this country with less credibility than the CEO of the RIAA"), the snarky ("All this time I thought sopapipas were delicious Mexican treats"), and the unintentionally awesome ("Cary H. Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America, which represents music labels, can take her entertainment and lies and blow it out her ear.") A few of the comments were even supportive!"
"Sherman came back last Thursday with a follow-up piece on the RIAA blog in which he addressed his commenters and critics. Kudos for doing it—and the tone and approach on display here are far more likely to spark a useful discussion. Each of Sherman's five points has merit, and the piece is well worth a skim."

That follow up piece is linked in this column from +Nate Anderson of +Ars Technica, and here at http://tinyurl.com/8585cgc. If you didn't have a chance to read Mr. Sherman's original post that sparked it all, it's also linked in the column and at http://tinyurl.com/6qta5sq

He read them all… and responded. Kudos, indeed!

RIAA still raging against Google, Wikipedia for "misuse of power" in SOPA battle
The RIAA continues to rant about how unfair the backlash against SOPA all was—and how Google abused the public trust. It's hand-waving demagoguery at its worst, and it doesn't hold up to scrut…
