"For decades, the recording industry – mainly in the form of its
lobbying bodies, the RIAA, IFPI and other similar organizations – have
pushed, time and time again, for broadly expansive copyright law, in
which everything possible is “owned” and everything possible must be
licensed. And now we’re reaching the logical conclusion to that mess –
even as many of us warned that this is where things would head, and we
were laughed off by the very same recording industry as being “copyright
haters.” Except, here we are, now, with musicians afraid to even mention
their heroes for fear of being sued."
