Name: Jon Kameya
From: Michigan
Bio: A lover of all media since elementary school, loving the internet was inevitable.
Area of Expertise: Advocate/Voice of the People
Topic: Controversial Issues
Headline: The RIAA in a Broadband World
Nutshell: The RIAA will be no more; the music will be free.
Vision:Once the music industry realizes that file sharing is impossible to regulate with any efficiency, the physical media (CD’s, tapes, SA-CDs, etc) will become no more than the advertisement for live shows. In other words, the inevitability of free music will lead us down a path where CD’s are sold for little to nothing and file sharing is promoted and free to all. The musicians will make their living by playing live shows that are advertised through a world wide network of fans. Recorded music will be free.
