The RIAA shuts down Muxtape | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone - CNET
Free music mixtape service Muxtape has temporarily been shut down due to pressure from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Sharing mixtapes (sic) is more about sharing a love of music than sharing music. A subtle distinction perhaps and while it may be unreasonable to expect a reactionary organization like the RIAA to make allowances for such subtleties, I am consistently surprised by the extent of their tone deafness. At some point, trying to prop up an industry on it’s last legs with these toothpicks will fail and the thing will come crashing down one would think. One can hope.

the RIAA is just jealous because they can’t figure out how to put together a decent mix tape. I can’t tell you how many new bands’ music I’ve PURCHASED at the LOCAL CD RETAIL STORE after hearing of them on mixes made by internet friends: 67.
