Slashdot is running a piece on the RIAA and SoundExchange (owned/run by RIAA) and how they have somehow worked into to god-knows-where a law that SoundExchange can collect, in escrow, royalties for any music broadcast online and then hold that money.
Naturally the performer, even if they never wanted to charge in the first place, can join SoundExchange as a partner and pay to become a member in order to collect those royalties.
Did anyone just physically DIE from reading this retarded mess of lawyering, corruption and self-back-patting?
