For those working on copyright in RHE 306 and interested in hip hop, there is an interesting article in the "New York Times" from last Sunday about the arrest of mixtape DJs, the Aphiliates, by Atlanta police for violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Law. The R.I.A.A. was involved in the arrest, though mixtapes are clearly part of the mainstream record industry, used by major labels to both "discover" and promote artists.
