I believe that if they worked on developing bands so that bands would churn out full albums of good songs album after album, as happened before the mid 80's, they could put a dent in the declining numbers of their CD sales.

But how many years has it taken? Technology is making the production and recording process simpler and closer to the public. The RIAA needs to be working on things that are "exceptional"..."above and beyond" what you're little brother can do on his PC in his bedroom. Instead of overcharging for crap.
