Just to put the whole RIAA thing in perspective, back in the 80's, the music industry came up with its dumbest campaign...up to that point: the campaign to convince their customers that taping vinyl, making mix tapes, sharing taped albums with friends, all of that, was a form of theft and would destroy music itself. They put these "home taping is killing music" graphics on everything from stickers to the sleeves of LPs you bought in the shops. The media geniuses at Downhill Battle have produced a great tee that recycles the HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC slogan and gilds the lily with this tagline: AND IT'S FUN.

"sharing taped albums with friends, all of that, was a form of theft and would destroy music itself."

yeah, i would've thought sharing copied albums with friends is what keeps music alive, rather than destroying it.
the big labels are just annoyed that they're not the centre of the universe any more.
that t-shirt is genius :)
