Whoever is advising the RIAA needs to be shot.
First of all, that is not true. There are many sites you can go to and pay to download music. They have met the demand. The problem lies in the fact that too many people are stealing the music, and then redistributing it. When that disappears, you will see many more sites pop up where you can pay to download music. I would say that the biggest hurdle to entering the pay to download market is that too many people are distributing the music for free. Take that hurdle away and watch what happens.
