Seems the RIAA has got to Archie too! The very first story in Archie #577 (September 2007) is a cautionary tale for kiddies called "Record Breaker" wherein all those leechers (and wannabe leecher kids) out there are taught that they're the ones responsible for driving their favorite artists into penury and worse perhaps.
Seems no-one informed them about Prince's business model and how he's been doing a pretty good job of it, or is this story RIAA's response to the new avenues for revenue that Prince is trying to tap into - avenues, in fact, that don't involve suing and ****ing off the hitherto loyal fans?
