    Trying to stave off their fate in the court of public opinion.

    It's a last-minute appeal for the world to NOT view them as greedy scapegoat-seekers.

      Jst look at the survey, speaks for itself:

      Will you apply for RIAA's amnesty?

      75.15% No, I'm not falling in line.
      21.52% No, because I don't need it -- I don't download.
      3.33% Yes, it's time to come clean.

                  Well, they finally did it today. http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/interne...ing/index.html
                  The recording industry filed 261 lawsuits against individual Internet music file sharers Monday and announced an amnesty program for people who admit they illegally share music files through the Internet.

                  The federal lawsuits and amnesty program are the latest moves by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in its fight against illegal music file trading on the Internet, which record companies blame for compact disc sales falling 31 percent since mid-2000.

                  Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, said the civil lawsuits filed were against "major offenders" who made available an average of 1,000 copyrighted song files.

                      And after this move they will drop even more.

                          Universal is going to drop their CD prices 30% Oct. 1st to "combat music downloading";



                          Yeah, right. IMO maybe 50-60% would help, but with prices as high as they are what they're doing isn't even a good start.
