More MP3.com and Napster -- 1:24 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

This article on ISP-Planet (yep, there's a Planet for everything on the 'Net) talks about the recent legal wranglings between the RIAA on the one side and MP3.com and Napster on the other. The author makes an excellent point, which I was not clever enough to think of in my diatribe on the whole MP3 situation:
Record companies and the RIAA should learn the hard lesson now, before companies like mp3.com figure out how to set up their own labels and negotiate directly with recording artists.
Boy, if that would happen, the RIAA would be cut out of the picture altogether. I hope for their sakes that one of them has a fully functioning brain cell and embraces MP3 while there still is time. Thanks Linux Today.
