BUSTED! Selling mixtapes

riaa.jpgLast week, DJ Drama was arrested in Atlanta for selling mixtapes. It seems the Recording Industry Association of America is taking this mixtape stuff real serious. DJ Drama was charged with some RICO-type racketeering, felony stuff…

RIAA is cracking down. The recording industry isn’t taking this petty bullshit thievery anymore–file sharing, downloading, mixtapes….all that.

Kids, don’t try this at home.

    Record companies have been using mixtapes for promotion for years… The RIAA will complain that mixtapes and filesharing hurt the artists (though artists don’t get paid from them) but they are only concerned about the dollars record labels are missing.

    Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury…
