Mises Wire

Anti-RIAA

Anti-RIAA

Two New York lawyers detail here the sleazy legal tactics of the Recording Industry Association of America. The lawyers call the tactics a reign of terror against young people and have set up their blog as a clearing house of information and evidence about the RIAA's "oppressive lawsuits." I like the lawyers' designations, but I would also say that the RIAA, in the spirit of monopoly power and privilege, is practicing marketing by lawsuit, rather than marketing by, well, marketing, that is, making high quality products widely available at low prices.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
