Get back, RIAA! You don’t know me like that.
If you follow online music, then I’m sure you’ve heard about Yahoo’s entry into the music subscription fray with Yahoo! Music Unlimited. It’s a deal where you pay $5 a month and get unlimited access to music online and for yr portable device.
Barry Ritholtz drops some logic in an interesting direction, namely this: if unlimited access to music is worth $5 a month, why is the RIAA suing people who share music files for thousands of dollars? If you do the math, the music would be worth $60 a year or $600 over ten years. So how can the RIAA claim damages in excess of the going market price for unlimited music access?
