your absurd analogy notwithstanding, here's a thumbnail of what just
happened.

On December 30, 2007 Mark Fisher writes a story headlined, "Record
Industry Goes After Personal Use"

On January 3rd, the president of the RIAA, Cary Sherman on radio is
incapable of articulating what the RIAA considers free use when asked
the question point blank.

I mean, c'mon Cary, can I legally rip my CD's and store a copy on my
computer?

The president of the RIAA won't answer the question.

It no longer matters what was in the Washington Post story.

or to use Rudy who articulates these things with a clarity that eludes
me...

9/11 changed everything.
