i started to read this article on an iphone, but the constant reappearance of the entirely-too-large (3 lines tall!?) "c 2012 RIAA" in bright blue at the bottom of the screen was so distractingly obnoxious, i finally was forced to copy-paste the whole thing into a easier to read text file. it wasnt until then that i was able to enjoy the article.

Now I feel doubly bad. I felt dirty linking directly to riaa.com in the first place.

now now, its not your fault that they forced me to pirate their article. seriously though, blocking content with a giant reappearing copyright notice? they may as well have embedded a recording of "MINE! MINE! MINE!" to loop for the duration of the article.
