Tony Long spreads the pyrhic victory meme on the Jammie Thomas thing. His main points:

  • Regardless of wrongdoing, Jamie Thomas is potentially sympathetic. Not well off, a single mom... did the RIAA decide that an "own goal" was what they wanted, in PR terms?
  • The labels continue to screw the artists, and the artists are starting to realize that they don't have to take it anymore

Once the dust settles, maybe some of the useless middlemen working for the labels can find real jobs somewhere.
