Re: Jello Biafra rips into the RIAA; draws comparisons to mafia, extortion

the even simpler economics is that no company can continue selling a product that is free

But your point begs the question -- why does Punknews post tripe like this Biafra "story"? Sensationalism? It barely engages the underlying issue(s) at all..

I don't see how the "fuck majors, support diy" is ridiculous. In fact, I think it is more relevant than it ever has been. The cultural climate is still there. Albeit, it is in a different incarnation. It is anything but sad to remain true to such an ideal as diy, especially in this jaded situation that you ever so readily help to perpetuate.
