Perhaps the record companies shouldn't be TOO afraid. Rounder Records is listed by the RIAA [riaa.com] as a reporting member. I point this out with regret, as I highly enjoy the music of many Rounder-signed artists.
How many prominent (even though Rounder is small, I would argue that they still are pretty renowned) labels aren't reporting members?
The RIAA is *supposed* to represent its members; unfortunately, as most representatives, it only represents the few most powerful of them.
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be
lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.
