Consumer Electronics Assn battle it out with RIAA
BoingBoing points to this fascinating exchange (two PDF files in zip file at this link) in which the RIAA and CEA explain their points of view. For example, the CEA said,
You state that you do not wish to limit the ability of consumers
to record over-the-air radio broadcasts. Instead, you apparently want to
force them to buy what they have received for free since Fleming and Marconi
first made it possible for consumers to hear news and music over the public
airwaves. As you know, we have long been concerned about content owners
seeking to change the ‘play’ button on our devices to a ‘pay’ button.
The gloves are off. Let the battle begin.
