If everything works out well in the universe, there will be a whole infrastructure dedicated to non-RIAA bands, including sites selling non-drm music, and internet radio stations paying non-RIAA bands a fair royalty. Who knows, the artists themselves may actually make more money when the obsolete labels are not involved.
Hopefully, one day the only "artists" represented by RIAA are American Idol graduates, and Britney/Nickelback wannabes.

I think this will apply to everything. It isn't the RIAA who are deciding this, it is just the RIAA's recommendation that has been used.
The decision came from a sub-committee of the Library of Congress.
