OUTRAGE!

A RIAA lawyer said recently that:

He [Steven Metalitz] has now responded to a host of questions from the Copyright Office following up on live hearings held earlier this year, and in those comments, Metalitz (again) strongly opposes any exemption that would allow users to legally strip DRM from content if a store goes dark and takes down its authentication servers.

Hop over to ars technica for the full article. Tweakers.net (Dutch tech site) also published an article, as did Slashdot. Earlier this month, A RIAA Spokesman was reported saying DRM was dead, which was later corrected to:

Lamy's [the spokesman's] full, original comment, made in an e-mail sent to Radcliffe in response to a query for a story she was working on, read: "There is virtually no DRM on music anymore, at least on download services, including iTunes."

As reported by InformationWeek.

Time to keep an eye out on the RIAA Radar (thanks guys!) when buying your music.
