Major artists may sue RIAA

Sunday, March 2, 2008 9:29 PST -08:00   News  


We like to give the RIAA a lot of stick for its stance on filesharing, so we’re always pleased to help share some negative press the music biz is receiving. Whoever said that the RIAA has artists’ best interests at heart needs to rethink that notion.

Apparently, there are scores of artists’ lawyers and managers trying to work out when some of the money procured by the RIAA in its war on filesharing will actually make its way to the artists themselves.

John Branca, a well-connected lawyer who has represented the Rolling Stones, among others, said that some artists may start filing lawsuits if they don’t get paid soon. Imagine the backlash if artists like the Rolling Stones started suing the RIAA after the RIAA has sued the world for filesharing. The order of the world would be forever sent into disarray.

Whatever happens and wherever the money has been going and will go, you can bet the lawyers will be the ones who really benefit — as always.

      This is a valid point, the RIAA are getting money from people, from suing them , and what are they doing with it ? If they are not 100% upfront how can the expect us file shares to be upfront.

      And while they wait for the payments from RIAA , RIAA are making money on interest. Fair play to the Stones for highlighting this issue. I guess RIAA are not so upfront as they claim to be !
