The most absurd example I heard was where the industry wanted a royalty payment from a barber who played a radio in his barber shop, where customers were hearing songs without payment of royalties! Nevermind that the radio station pays a royalty every time it plays every record on the air for public consumption.
If the recording industry does become obsolete, the current behavior will have most consumers happy to see its demise.

I friend of mine used to own a restaurant and they had to pay fees in order to have a radio on with a local station on it.

another interesting fact is that artists make hardly anything off cds, something around a few pennies on each cd.
Thanks Folks for three more good reasons why we should all consider signing the petition.
The record industry is failing due in part to their own greed but instead of making adjustments to their business model the have instead chosen to vent their anger at their own failings by attacking the only people who might turn them around financially... THEIR CUSTOMERS!
I feel for their pain in failure but it is their own doing. Signing the petition might just help them wake up and get their $hit straight.
