Music Industry News reports: For those of you who have had it with the RIAA and are frustrated by their campaign against piracy. You now have a chance to "stick it to the man" with the help of a VooDoo Doll named "Royal-Tz" (pronounced "Royalties"). The figurine comes complete with a record hanging around its neck and holding a subpeona in one hand. The demand is fierce and can only be had by donations to the cause.
"We have talked to hundreds of people who are frustrated with the actions of the RIAA," said Ann Gabriel, President of Webcaster Alliance, "and while we can reassure them that Webcaster Alliance intends to challenge the RIAA's tactics in the Courts, we can sympathize with the level of frustration that is out there and growing stronger on a daily basis." Since announcing plans to challenge the RIAA in court, Webcaster Alliance has been innundated with requests for information on the organization and its membership options. "We wanted to find a way to let new members know we appreciated their support and at the same time to let people know we understood their indignation with the way the RIAA is treating the American Public." The idea for the campaign, Gabriel says, was born in a conversation with Webcaster Alliance Treasurer Mark Glynn, who also hosts the popular "Funkin' Friday Nights" on NewOrleansRadio.com. "We wanted to give our members something they couldn't get anywhere else," said Glynn, "And that is how 'Royal-Tz' came to be." |
Glynn, a New Orleans native, is stunned by the enormous response from folks that have seen the doll. "We wanted to make it fun, something people would look at and say 'That is SO cool!' - and I think we have created just that. Everyone that sees it, loves it. Most people start laughing right away and ask, 'How can I get one?'"
The doll comes in two sizes, is not for sale but is available as a thank you gift for memberships or donations of or more to Webcaster Alliance.
