techdirt.com — We recently had a post questioning whether the RIAA's legal campaign was a success or not. It seemed like there was plenty of evidence that it has been an incredible failure. Here is compiled data on RIAA label sales, along with some helpful notes about what other factors were going on at the time.

According to the graph, they should be blaming the release of the iPod. Apple is too powerful tho so they go after defenseless people instead.Hurry up and die.

Perhaps you could get some money to a favourite musician instead?Or buy a ticket for one of their gigs?

And this is nothing compared to the recent 1,5 trillion RIAA lawsuit against LimeWire<a class="user" href="http://www.p2pnet.net/story/40481" rel="nofollow">http://www.p2pnet.net/story/40481</a>

Their business model needs to be convenience.After Howard Stern leaves Sirius XM at the end of the year I am canceling my Sat radio and I'm gonna subscribe to rhapsody. I can get on-demand music through my phone which will be hooked to my car. No more switching stations trying to find a good song.I don't know much about Rhapsody's software, but I do hope it has a "virtual DJ" for those times when I don't want to plan every song I want to hear.

No, I have no such evidence. I know I am not alone in boycotting the RIAA and the MPAA. There are sites on the net where one can find lists of RIAA companies to avoid, so there are some dedicated boycotters out there
