Submission + - RIAA President Decries Fair Use

triskaidekaphile writes: "Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, has an editorial on CNet where he proclaims "the fair use doctrine is in danger of losing its meaning and value". In true spinster form, he indicates that fair use is indeed important, then states "Let's be clear. The [Consumer Electronics Association]'s primary concern is not consumers, but technology companies — often large, multinational corporations which, like us, strive to make a profit. ... But to seize the mantra of "consumer rights" to advance that business interest is simply disingenuous."

Slashdotters, trollers, and pollsters one and all, what say you? Disingenuous or dissembling?"
