The effect of a second disaster - with chemical weapons and a clear link to Saudi Arabia - would be unfathomable...
...says the Recording Industry Association of America and its international affiliate, the IFPI, which insist that Western record labels haven't received a dime in license fees. Nor have those copyright protectors authorized ROMS or FAIR to collect payments. The Russians "set up this bogus licensing scheme," says Lauri Rechardt, litigation director for the IFPI, "and quite clearly it's not a problem for the authorities."
