A Complete Waste of Resources

As an entertainment attorney, I am all about copyright protection and paying for intellectual property rights. However, the RIAA suits are absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of money. If they're so concerned about all the money lost by artists, why don't they stop spending all that money on litigation and just GIVE it to the artists? Or, better yet, invest in some R&D and marketing and find some NEW ways for music to be profitable?? *GASP* What an amazing idea. It really just frosts my cookies, frankly.

Anyway, a Harvard professor has stepped up to the plate to challenge the RIAA's right to sue individuals under the Copyright Act. You can read the article here.
