RIAA seeks to cut music download royalty payments to artists by more than a third, to "8%." iTunes goes for the throat and seeks cut to "4%." Not to be outdone, RIAA then switches stance to "Nothing and like it.'

"Record companies are suffering a contraction of their business at a time when music publisher revenues and margins have increased markedly,"
and this gem...
Internet streams should not trigger any copyright royalty, the association contends, saying that they are performances and not covered under the mechanical license.
Lol, hear that songwriters and musicians? Y'all are making too much damn money while the record companies are suffering... Shame on you. In fact, you shouldn't be making anything at all from downloads! Greedy little piggies.
So, the RIAA admits that there is no overhead for downloads, and the artists should never be paid for them in the first place.
So why exactly are they suing college kids again?
