You could try registering Republican and voting for Ron Paul in the
Presidential primaries. Normally I wouldn't recommend voting Republican
(or Democrat, for that matter), for anything, but Ron Paul's a special
case. Anyway, the point is that with candidates like him you actually
have a reasonable chance of ending some corporate subsidies, returning
control of technical business to the technical professionals who
actually know something about the business (rather than leaving it in
the hands of corrupt bureaucrats and clueless congresscritters), and so
on.
Sorry for the brief political digression, but you did ask a question
that is ultimately only answerable in terms of politics. The RIAA has a
strong lobby, and the only way to effectively fight them is with the
tools of politics.
