Looks like they used RIAAs own news posting script to do it. Their programmer should be fired.

They deserve it. I like the "new look" they have brought to thier site. :D

that hack press release page still worked...

maybe i'd write something like this:

Here at the RIAA, we have the needs of every music consumer directly in mind and want to help them collect as much music as possible.
Since we stated back in October that we actually have NO IDEA how much it costs to produce a CD, smart consumers understand that they aren't the only ones with financial problems. So with that in mind, the RIAA is now happy to unveil the new face of the RIAA music fan, aptly named Perry the Pirate.
Perry the Pirate is a music fan - JUST LIKE YOU! Only he doesn't just BORROW music and then hand it back to his friends like you do. He keeps it in a secret place and locks it away for good. Because really, what's more important to us - music and art, or MONEY?
That's correct. It's money.
Some day we'll figure out just how much money we have, and spend on CD production and copyright protection, but until the day comes when we actually expend the effort to protect our own data and copyrights, we encourage you to imitate Perry the Pirate. It's our fault, really. Our bad.
Oh yeah, also, please don't purchase or listen to ANY music by any artist that holds his OWN copyrights and distributes it through that mechanism of Public Enemy #1 - the INTERNET.
Honest people don't use it, nor make a living by it.
You should be ashamed of yourself for reading this information right now, really.
You're not a pirate, are you?
When we find you, you're going to need more than an eye patch, we can assure you.
But just understand that this is more like tough love.
Keep buying CDs that cost over $14.00. They're worth every penny. Even the penny that the artist receives from the sale. That's how valuable they are to us.
Remember those freaky looking S&M dressing guys on Star Trek:TNG? That's us.
We own the technology sector. Bow down. Be assimilated. We're in control. Don't look behind that curtain!!
Look at that pirate instead! He's your enemy.
I mean - WAIT, be like him.
We love you. Even though you're ugly and covered in wool.
Thank you for making us #1.
