:The payback and share they get via iPods is that they get to sell more of their product. They are owed nothing more.
This is like saying Ron Popeil should get a share of each TV sold because he has his commercials on TV. No, duh, the medium is the reason YOU exist.
Music has existed without the RIAA. The RIAA would not exist without consumer music devices.
Hubris, folks.
In the RIAA's narrow view, they do believe that they are owed more because they used to control the medium and distribution. They allowed iTunes to distribute music to iPods, and lost control of both distribution and medium.
