RIAA 'to disappear'?

RIAARIAARIAARIAA

Prepare to peel off your bumper stickers - the Recording Industry Ass. of America (RIAA) may disappear in a merger of trade groups, Variety reports.

According to the Hollywood trade paper, EMI has formally filed to leave the global trade body that represents sound recording owners, the IFPI (International Federation of Phonographic Industry), by 31 March. The IFPI has 1,400 members in 75 countries. [The Register]

This sounds more like a way to change their name, since RIAA is now associated with lawsuit happy anti-consumer tactics.

I'm sure the same behaviors will continue, just other another name.
