RIAA’s illegal, unlicensed investigator of choice, [1]has been hired by
the Peoples Republic of China to provide DRM for the Olympics coverage.
The PRC says it ‘owns exclusive rights to the broadcast of all audio and
video content via online and mobile distribution channels across Mainland
China’ and wants to protect it from ‘piracy.’ I wonder if the Chinese
government is aware of MediaSentry’s track record — i.e. all the good
things it has accomplished so far for the Big 4 record companies.”
