The MPAA couldn't possibly be working behind the scenes on this one could they?

MPAA guy: how about this? We fake a split, you cosy up to the BSA and get them to stop whining about government intervention and fair use and we keep pumping money into congress to get all the new laws we both really want.

RIAA guy: sweet.
