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.

Agreed. And with many artists, including big name rap acts, recording in home studios using Pro Tools backing the process, it drops the recording costs significantly for the record companies. The only cost that has gone up for the record companies is "advertising"... basically the money they pay the radio stations parent company (not mentioning names) to get their song in the rotation.
