I can’t post much today, but I have to track a few things before going back to work - the RIAA is certainly getting a response. It’s just not terribly clear that it’s to their benefit.

Personally, I’m making certain that I use the RIAA Radar site whenever I consider CDs anymore. Too bad, too - this one got a good review in The Globe. But, I can at least use Amazon to find out if I can buy a used copy - ‘first sale doctrine’ and all that.
