Even better, the "fees" the RIAA was paying were almost certainly
accounting fictions, allowing them to book "expenses" that may well not
have anything to do with actual out-of-packet costs.

But the claimed charges better match what they tell they IRS are
"expenses", so they were hoisted twice.

But will they learn? I doubt it.
