The RIAA has lost money to piracy from the internet. However the free internet provides more chances of income for the creative artist.

Megaupload was coming out with their new MegaBox music platform, which would have allowed music artist to sell their own work for a staggering 90% profit.

This raid comes a day after many of the internet’s tech giants like wikipedia and reddit.com, went on strike in protest of SOPA/PIPA.
