RIAA 'In A Better Place' Now, Lobbyist Says
The 463 Blog on Tuesday tossed three questions at Mitch Glazier, the Recording Industry Association of America's top lobbyist. When asked how he would describe his trade group's relationship with the technology sector now as compared to "the Napster years," he says his members are "in a better place."
Glazier goes on: "Like every relationship, it’s complicated and we have definitely matured together. When you think of what the record companies went through – changing almost every aspect of their business model for digital releases (which, despite legitimate criticism, can never happen overnight), giving up distribution, and gaining legal clarity – the Napster years almost seem like ancient history."
