I'm seeing a two-fold set of issues in that poorly titled op-ed piece that have little to do with the RIAA dinosaur itself.
1) Languishing business model - the entertainment biz has yet to figure out the online model and a change in royalty revenues.
2) Of course CD sales are down, who isn't straying away from physical mediums these days; when you're carrying around a hard-drive in your pocket and can stream media directly to your TV/device/computer/magic box./div>
