RIAA: CDs With Or Without Crack?

2008-02-20 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 15 Comments
A sixty-minute video, alleged to be a leaked training video instructing DAs to aggressively pursue music pirates, has begun circulating online.

The video, apparently produced by the RIAA in conjunction with the National District Attorneys Association, is intended to persuade prosecutors of the pressing need to prosecute music pirates at all levels, linking the practice to more dangerous crimes such as gun-running and drug-dealing.

In one scene, featured in the two-minute clip at Gizmodo.com, panellist Frank Walters of the RIAA provides a compelling account of the link between CDs and crack. Stranger than fiction, one might say.

"When you buy a CD, would you like it with or without—the with is enclosing a piece of crack or whatever the case may be," says Walters.

I really can't believe they just made those jumps in accusations. Large stashes of guns, drugs, and etc? Are you serious? How the hell does P2P fit in that, if that is the major source of illegal sharing.

Oh, I see what they're getting at. It's gotta work, since terrorists like music too, right? Right.

Wasn't there an absolutely ridiculous joke article where someone from the RIAA drew a connection between music pirating and drugs, etc.? Now they're actually doing that?
