Former RIAA chief Hilary Rosen states that the RIAA lawsuits against broadband file-traders have "outlived most of their usefulness". She pens a piece at the Huffington Post in which she discusses how the lawsuits didn't begin until after she left, though she was present for the initial planning phases.
"But for the record, I do share a concern that the lawsuits have outlived most of their usefulness and that the record companies need to work harder to implemnt a strategy that legitimizes more p2p sites and expands the download and subscription pool by working harder with the tech community to get devices and music services to work better together. That is how their business will expand most quickly. The iPod is still too small a part of the overall potential of the market and its propietary DRM just bugs me.
