The RIAA is sending C&Ds to kids who post videos of themselves dancing to music on YouTube, because the kids -- who are giving musicians free viral marketing -- haven't paid a license fee.
I have commentary on this at the GeekWire (SFW)
Update: Here's a great example of two kids who made a brilliant video of their own to The Pixies' Hey (There are some possibly NSFW video thumbnails on that page.) The RIAA thinks this is hurting The Pixies. Give me a break.
