A new campaign by heavyweights (http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3640506)to counter content cartels' legislative and judicial steamroller.
In an effort to roll back the legal and legislative efforts of the big record labels and movie studios, the Digital Freedom campaign was launched this week by, among others, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA), Public Knowledge and the New America Foundation.
The RIAA response is the kicker:
"You don't advance the debate when you stake out extremist positions, engage in fear mongering or broadly condemn a whole community for wishing to defend its lawful rights," the RIAA stated in a Wednesday advertisement.
I'm betting a few million consumers around the world believe the same thing.
