p2pnet news view Movies | RIAA:- The Rise and Fall of the RIAA may soon be immortalised in film.

Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music’s once powerful extortion arm is slowly being relegated to obscurity now its sue’ em all campaign has been replaced by the global Three Strikes and You’re Off The Net scheme.

But now, “HBO Films is developing a movie based on the book ‘Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Record Industry in the Digital Age’ by music journalist Steve Knopper,” says the Hollywood Reporter, as Zeropaid points out.

“The book covers some 30yrs of the music industry’s missteps beginning with the disco craze back in the late 1970s, through the CD craze of the late 1980s and 1990s, its battle with Shawn Fanning’s Napster in the late 1990s and other P2P applications since then, to the rise of digital downloads replacing physical CD sales,” it says, going on »»»

It should be a good movie to watch if for no other reason than to see precisely how short-sighted and ignorant the music industry really is. Every time a consumer seems to want a product or service its response is automatically no and only has a change of heart when declining sales force its hand.

It was true of digital downloads, streaming music, and DRM.

Add to that the fact that all along the way, to this very day, suing file-sharing customers has been an essential component of its overall business strategy.

Rumours that Danny DeVito will be cast as Mitch Bainwol, with Red Skelton as Cary Sherman, should probably be discounted.
