“ In my prior blog I would occasionally write about the buffoonery of the Copyright Alliance, a laughably, tragically inept DC front organization for large corporate copyright owners portraying itself as the voice of individual artists. You know, the individual performing artists that the RIAA sought to deprive of their termination of transfer rights when the RIAA snuck in, in the dead of the night with no hearing, no bill, or no notice, legislation to convert them into employees for hire. You know, the artists whom the RIAA sought to deprive of bankruptcy protection. You know, the artists the MPAA has successfully prevented from gaining audiovisual performance rights in WIPO treaty negotiations. You know, those artists. „
