Next tactic... an RIAA van driving around, and down your street. If they find you are playing music too loud (parties, etc) they can stop and fine you for unlicensed redistribution of music.Hippy#1: "Hey Man Its Freedom Rock...TURN IT UP MAN!"Hippy#2: "Sorry man, the RIAA Man might come down on us...nobody can listen except me."Or the next step, RIAA starts suing schools who use music in plays or proms.

Just listen to offshore radio stations instead, hey who knows, you might actually expand your musical boundaries a little and put the RIAA out of business at the same time...Try www.radioseven.se a great station from Sweden.

> As an anarchist ...While you are on the right side of this debate, I'm not sure publicizing your political affiliations in this case is going to be particularly helpful to us. Your comment is thought-provoking, but holy s**t, leave that whole "anarchist" thing out for now, or the anti-RIAA movement will suffer death-by-association ;-)

No! They just keep coming at us after being beaten back! Its your attitude they are hoping for, because the RIAA only has to be successful once. The current version of the attack is this scale change and the PERFORM act sponsored by Dianne Fienstein.

"I find so much new music on radioparadise.com, it has entirely changed the way I listen to music."...and a lot of that is probably not from RIAA labels, correct? Everyone keeps saying the RIAA is biting the hand that feeds them, but the percentage of indie music on internet radio is much, much higher than terresterial or satellite radio. They're cutting off the hand that feeds their indie competitors, which have been growing while RIAA labels have been shrinking.How could this be any better for the RIAA? You listen to music from non-RIAA labels, the station must pay the RIAA. Or (more likely), the internet radio station goes out of business, and all you have left is mostly-RIAA music on traditional radio. Or they litigate; their portion of the litigation is paid by royalties from internet radio stations, and the internet radio station's litigation cost is paid by the internet radio station. Either way the RIAA wins. Brilliant.

Lets say the average "performance" lasts about 3 minutes. Assuming that there is no other content (ads, talk) that would be 20 per hour, 480 per day, and 175200 per year.2006 - $.0008 per performance = $140.162007 - $.0011 per performance = $192.722008 - $.0014 per performance = $245.282009 - $.0018 per performance = $315.362010 - $.0019 per performance = $332.88It looks to me that it is basically a flat rate of $500 since that is the minimum payment.
