Torrent freak reports on the RIAA’s claim…. Heres an exerp:
“Jonathan Lamy, chief spokesperson for the RIAA declared DRM dead, when he was asked about the RIAA’s view on DRM for an upcoming SCMagazine article. “DRM is dead, isn’t it?” Lamy said, referring to the DRM-less iTunes store and other online outfits that now offer music without restrictions.”

Are rebills ok to promote?

Here is a great post by Shoemoney talking about rebills.

So if you’re promoting grant or debt-reduction services be wary… Read about it here http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/07/shortchange.shtm
