RIAA Comes to Its Senses. I.e., RIAA Is Hacked Again?

The RIAA site has been hacked at least twice recently. But is this page a hack?

It announces a new policy for the RIAA that sounds like it was written by the EFF: Dropping copy protection, dropping lawsuits against file-sharing neworks. ..

Way too good to be true. And the fact that we can't tell if it's truth or a parody indicates just how absurd the RIAA's position has been.

(Thanks to Seth Johnson for the pointer.)
