In the most provocative, innovative, and forward thinking article I have ever read about the RIAA and the music industry, Rob from Demonbaby gives his take on the take down of Oink. If you don't know what Oink is, it was one of the top music donwloading sites before the lawmakers and the RIAA brought it down. But before you form your opinions about the former site, I highly recommend that you read this article that Rob posted.
Rob use to work for the big labels in the 1990s and into the 2000s, and his insight might have you rethinking everything you know about the music industry. And you would be surprised about how he feels about how and what the music industry has evolved into. Please understand that I really don't like long articles, but this one is so necessary for any music fan, that it should be mandatory reading for anyone who's ever purchased a song.
Please!!! Take the 20 minutes and read through this one.

Excelent article. I'm going to inform quite a few peopldee about it!
oink.cx.la and its subsidary sites remain a scam, even after moving their “launch” 10 days to November 11th. Check their new screenshot if you have any lingering doubts. Behold the magic of MS paint.
