RIAA, where up is down
Not long after RIAA Prez Cary Sherman's inane answers in a CNET interview, RIAA CEO Mitch Bainwol continues the fantasy with the USA Today article "RIAA chief says illegal song-sharing 'contained'".

Bainwol claims that "file-trading is flat". But the numbers are far from flat. Research firm Big Champagne measures the number of average P2P users online at any one time. There has been continued growth in P2P users. There were 8.7 million users in May 2005 and 9.7 million in May 2006, an increase of 12% in a year.
