newVideoPlayer(”riaapropaganda_giz.flv”, 475, 376);This clip is rich. whether you’ve taken a journo class, you know that companies send these video junkets out to lazy local news producers all the duration that sorta look like news but are really just PR propaganda. that one’s just hilariously blatant RIAA fodder though, with awesome bits like, “Prices that are extremely low indicate a CD is pirated.” considering low CD prices are totally ridiculous.

And

danger, music fans, the audio quality of pirated music is “usually atrocious.” But don’t concern, the industry’s “offering cool, innovative ways” to get music like “digital album gift cards” and “Christmas-themed ringtones.” Jinkies, that’s cutting edge. Are they selling Hanukkah MiniDiscs too? [Live Leak via Slashdot]
