Things will be changing, it's guaranteed.

Yeah... I would be pissed if I was an artist and the lawsuits didn't get me any money either. Still isn't the worst of all worlds though... I can imagine there has been some sort of detrimental effect on users now that people are losing lawsuits and having huge judgements against themselves for distributing songs/content.
ok re read it again this has nothing to do with fair use

this has to do with the fact that the RIAA is keeping the money they win from the cases and the artist who are supposedly being defended are not getting anything.

it has to do with the fact that thepakgroup.com a for profit company is modeling themselves after the RIAA which it looks like is a money pit where the money goes in and no money comes out.


which means either they did do an adequate level of research or they actually plan to do the same thing.
