Artists are NOT happy!  Maybe Britney Spears is happy with the current
situation, but I would argue that the use of the term "artists" excludes
such people.  Most musicians (and film/video people, for that matter)
would love to see a weakening of the RIAA and big record companies. 
What it all comes down to is the struggle against The Man :)
But that's (one of) the reason(s) I like Linux.
