Music industry rents a photogenic posse

Posted on June 16th, 2010

BoingBoing points (via Michael Geist) to a music industry astroturf site that shows overly-happy, oddly attractive, and suspiciously diverse youths getting the maximum pleasure from cross-border DRM. We are urged to inject into our social networks our support and emotional attachment of the denizens of this fake network of non-existent corporate shills. With expected quickness, the commenters unearthed the stock photo the RIAA used.

It oddly reminds me of the “Send ‘em back” site that urged today’s youth to return the mp3s they’ve shared.
