The RIAA Is Threatening YOU!

Could it happen to you???

The RIAA and other big content cartels are NOT about protecting artists! That narrative is a complete smokescreen.

In this third part of our Yout v. RIAA coverage, we dig into Yout’s reply brief—and things get ugly. The RIAA claims it’s fighting “pirates” and “AI thieves,” but history shows these same tactics crush regular users and creators under the weight of anti-circumvention laws.

We’ll break down how this case ties directly into the AI music lawsuits (Suno, Udio, and beyond), why the RIAA’s “copy vs. access control” argument is a legal sleight of hand, and how the DMCA’s weaponization could make fair use itself a criminal act.

Along the way, we revisit the horrible free-speech-denying Universal v. Corley, and how Judge Kaplan’s decisions helped create the legal nightmare we’re still living with today.
