Muxtape Under Attack?

The RIAA is at it again, this time they're going after internet radio.  Recently Muxtape, from our weekend time waster, posted this message on their website.

On Muxtape's blog they assure that there has been no formal complaint by any artist or record company about their service, and that the website will be up and running soon.  Muxtape is a relitivley small music website, it seems strange that the RIAA would go after them, but it seems no website is too small for the RIAA to try to destroy it. 

If the RIAA and record companies alike would only embrace digital music there would be a lot less problems.  Sites like Muxtape are so popular because they make music easy, fun, and enjoyable for everyone.  With a service this great why wouldn't the music industy come up with it's own version?  Muxtape is not any complex system or new idea, and it is something that the record company could use to boost their own sales rather than just try to destroy it.  Technology changes industries everyday, and big companies need to begin to embrace change rather than try to create laws banning it.
