Does the RIAA own ALL music?

February 12, 2012 by Lynette · 7 Comments

No. So I'm not exactly sure why they think they can own .music on the Internet? There are a few entities bidding on the ICANN (the establishment that controls and issues all top-level naming schemes on the Internet such as .com, .edu & .org) so it's not certain right now if the RIAA will gain control of .music if the ICANN does indeed create it. If they do get control of .music no one but accredited music establishments (read: THE RIAA) can use the top-level domain. Anyone that does use .music will be regularly patrolled for copyright infringement. No court systems and no formal DMCA takedowns – just the RIAA hitting the kill button any damn time they feel like. Besides not being able to get a .music domain, no one that pirates music would want one. There are plenty of .com's around they can use for their illegal activities. Illegal activities that existing laws already cover. So what's the point? BULLYING that's what.

Listen, copyright infringement is very serious. I am not saying that we should all go out and steal music. I have plenty of friends that produce and sell their own music that rely on that income to feed themselves and their families. Pay for the product, plain and simple. The issue here that the RIAA repeated wants to circumvent existing laws and be the judge and jury themselves, for their own financial gain.

From the article:

Starting in May, ICANN will also give members of the public the opportunity to comment on any new gTLD application.

Oh, you can be sure there will be a lot of people commenting once that opens up. Every independent musician should be out of their minds crazy that, again, the RIAA thinks it's their way or no way. This is just a desperate, failing industry grasping at straws to breathe as they are already head under water.

h/t to my husband +Dave Young for the article share
