 RIAA chief invokes Martin Luther King in pigopoly defense | The Register
Departing RIAA chief Hilary Rosen yesterday invoked the name of slain fl civil rights leader Martin Luther King as she defended the music oligopolies' right to prevent people sharing music.
Rosen was receiving - we kid you not - the 'Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award' from the US T-shirt-sellers and record shops' guild, the National Association of Recording Merchandisers, or NARM, in Florida.
Unfortunately, to buttress her case, Rosen chose to repeat the bogus figure of "the equivalent of 421 CD-R burners" that were caught in December's raid on a wholesale music copier, which as we reported here, was a figure plucked out of the air.

 Salon Technology | On the record   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
As the CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, Rosen has the unique privilege of being the most visible spokesperson for the entire music industry.
Yet Napster is still growing like mad; a dozen clones, such as Gnutella, have emerged, bands like Limp Bizkit and Public Enemy are stepping up to proclaim their support -- and the RIAA is gaining few fans among the online communities that support these software innovations (and all the free music they can get).
At the end of a month packed with daily news about Napster and a legal victory over MP3.com, Rosen was as careful with her words as any diplomatic industry representative embroiled in several lawsuits should be.

 Hilary Rosen quits RIAA | The Register
The Recording Industry Association of America's chief Hilary Rosen is to step down after five calamitous years shilling for the music distribution cartel.

As she received the "'Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award' from the National Association of Recording Merchandisers, or NARM, in Florida," Rosen cited Martin Luther King's inspirational words: "Social change cannot come overnight, but we must always act as though it were a possibility the very next morning."
However, inspiration was not the only part of her speech; she also mentioned the self-help, such as sending poisoned files over P2P networks.
Did Rosen mean that the industry needs to behave as if social change will happen tomorrow morning, meaning that the industry needs to beware of file sharing destroying her industry?
