Giving the Dog a Bone

Once again, the RIAA is set to persecute and alienate more visitors to the marketplace—with a new grievance this time. The world is now hearing the weeping sounds of the violin as the RIAA opines digital radio, the new pirating frontier.
We, the reckless and degenerate masses, cannot be trusted to use digital radio technology. We are bad apples who will take advantage of the technology to record radio broadcasts, then divvy up the recordings and redistribute songs online. We are bad, malicious people out to harm the poor, downtrodden and much-maligned recording industry. We must be stopped!
I think I've heard this song before, way back when cassettes were invented. And didn't the movie studios try this one when Sony introduced the BetaMax? Obviously consumers are terrible people who must be stopped. Repent, sinners, and be saved!
