The RIAA will come to regret its court win

I'm back with interesting article about the RIAA's first win (see here or below, if applicable), more specifically what successful writer and consultant Gerd Leonhard think about it.
Here are some examples:

"If [the industry tries to] keep up the strategy of 'you need us badly and therefore we make the rules' you will lose the artists, their managers... and the audience. Another 12 months for this Radiohead experiment (see here, if you don't know anything about it) to become the default approach. Get engaged or get outmoded. And do it soon."

"The real money is not in the CDs. It's in the gigs, the merchandising, the sponsorships. To make that money, you have to let people further down the highway before they arrive at the tollbooth."

Interesting reading, thumbs up.
